ustrrchr(3alleg4)

✨ ustrrchr — the last-one-standing finder 💅

okay bestie, we're in the Allegro manual today (that's the 3alleg4 corner of the docs, Allegro game programming library, yes ma'am) and the function on the menu is ustrrchr — she finds the last occurrence of a character in a string. not the first. the LAST. she's the one who shows up at the end of the party and knows exactly where everybody went 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro.h>

char *ustrrchr(const char *s, int c);

that's it, that's the whole vibe. one include, one function signature, zero drama 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So here's the tea: ustrrchr finds the last occurrence of the character c in the string s. Not the first one — that's her sister's job (hi ustrchr, we'll get to you). She scans all the way through and gives you the final match. lowkey iconic behavior, ngl.

Example, because we love a demonstration 💖:

char *p = ustrrchr("one,two,three,four", ',');

(that comma she's hunting for? it's the one right before four. the last comma. the final comma. the main character comma. periodt.)

🫶 RETURN VALUE 🫶

• She hands you back a pointer to that last occurrence of c in s 💫
• But if there's no match anywhere in there? You get NULL. no match, no pointer, no crumbs. 😭
