💖 STRPBRK(3POSIX) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the POSIX Programmer's Manual page for strpbrk, part of the STRPBRK(3POSIX) situation. pull up a chair, grab a strawberry 🍓, we're gonna find some bytes together.

✨ PROLOG ✨

ngl this is a big one so listen up: this manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. the Linux implementation of this interface may differ (so like, go consult the corresponding Linux manual page for the details of Linux behavior, bestie), or honestly the interface may not even be implemented on Linux at all. vibe check your platform first. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

strpbrk — scan a string for a byte. that's it. that's the whole job. iconic.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <string.h>

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

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so here's the tea: the functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. any conflict between the requirements described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional — nobody's trying to start drama. this volume of POSIX.1‐2017 defers to the ISO C standard, periodt.

and the actual function? the strpbrk() function 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 "search party, but for one single byte." main character energy for real. 🔥

🎀 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. so like, if nothing matched, you get NULL. she said "no match, no pointer, no problem." 😭

💀 ERRORS 💀

no errors are defined. zero. none. not a single one. the following sections are informative.
