al_ustr_find_str — Allegro 5 API, bestie 💅 this is the string-finding girlie from the Allegro reference manual.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

int al_ustr_find_str(const ALLEGRO_USTR *haystack, int start_pos,
   const ALLEGRO_USTR *needle)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so picture this: you've got a haystack string and a needle string, and you want the first occurrence of needle inside haystack, starting from byte offset start_pos — and yes, that start position is inclusive, periodt 💖.

If it finds the occurrence, it returns the byte offset of that occurrence. If it doesn't find it, you get -1, and honestly? We've all been there 😭.
