<cstring>
const char * strpbrk ( const char * str1, const char * str2 );
char * strpbrk ( char * str1, const char * str2 );
Locate character in string
Returns a pointer to the first occurrence in str1 of any of the characters that are part of str2, or a null pointer if there are no matches.
The search does not include the terminating null-characters.
Parameters
- str1
- C string to be scanned.
- str2
- C string containing the characters to match.
Return Value
A pointer to the first occurrence in str1 of any of the characters that are part of str2, or a null pointer if none of the characters of str2 is found in str1 before the terminating null-character.
If none of the characters of str2 is present in str1, a null pointer is returned.
Portability
In C, this function is declared as:
char * strpbrk ( const char *, const char * );
instead of the two overloaded versions provided in C++.
