+FUNCTION
+ <<memchr>>---find character in memory
+
+INDEX
+ memchr
+
+ANSI_SYNOPSIS
+ #include <string.h>
+ void *memchr(const void *<[src]>, int <[c]>, size_t <[length]>);
+
+TRAD_SYNOPSIS
+ #include <string.h>
+ void *memchr(<[src]>, <[c]>, <[length]>)
+ void *<[src]>;
+ void *<[c]>;
+ size_t <[length]>;
+
+DESCRIPTION
+ This function searches memory starting at <<*<[src]>>> for the
+ character <[c]>. The search only ends with the first
+ occurrence of <[c]>, or after <[length]> characters; in
+ particular, <<NULL>> does not terminate the search.
+
+RETURNS
+ If the character <[c]> is found within <[length]> characters
+ of <<*<[src]>>>, a pointer to the character is returned. If
+ <[c]> is not found, then <<NULL>> is returned.
+
+PORTABILITY
+<<memchr>> requires no supporting OS subroutines.
