STRPBRK(3P)

🦋 PROLOG 🦋

okay so before we even get into it — this manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual, bestie. the Linux implementation of this interface may differ (so like, go check the corresponding Linux manual page for the deets on Linux behavior), or honestly the interface might not even be implemented on Linux at all. 💀

✨ NAME ✨

strpbrk — scan a string for a byte

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <string.h>

char *strpbrk(const char *s1, const char *s2);

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so the functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. and like, any conflict between the requirements described here and the ISO C standard? completely unintentional, no cap. this volume of POSIX.1‐2017 defers to the ISO C standard, periodt.

now the actual tea: strpbrk() shall locate the first occurrence in the string pointed to by s1 of any byte from the string pointed to by s2. it's giving "find me the moment these two strings finally meet" energy. 🫶

---

🌸 RETURN VALUE 🌸

upon successful completion, strpbrk() shall return a pointer to that byte 👑 — or a null pointer if no byte from s2 occurs in s1 at all. (sad, but valid.)
