SDL_strstr(3)

SDL_strstr3

Search a string for the first instance of a specific substring.

Usage

#include "SDL3/SDL.h"

char * SDL_strstr(const char *haystack, const char *needle);

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.

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

the string to search. Must not be NULL.

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.

Thread safety

It is safe to call this function from any thread.

Availability

This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.
