SDL_strnstr3
Search a string, up to n bytes, for the first instance of a specific substring.
Usage
#include "SDL3/SDL.h"
char * SDL_strnstr(const char *haystack, const char *needle, size_t maxlen);
Header file
Defined in SDL3/SDL_stdinc.h
Overview
The search ends once it finds the requested substring, or a null terminator byte to end the string, or maxlen bytes have been examined. It is possible to use this function on a string without a null terminator.
Note that this looks for strings of _bytes_, not _characters_, so it's legal to search for malformed and incomplete UTF-8 sequences.
Function parameters
haystack
|

needle
|
the string to search for. Must not be NULL. |

|

Return value
Returns a pointer to the first instance of needle in the string, or NULL if not found.
