+@section @code{strstr}
+@findex strstr
+
+POSIX specification:@* @url{http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/strstr.html}
+
+Gnulib module: strstr or strstr-simple
+
+Portability problems fixed by either Gnulib module @code{strstr-simple}
+or @code{strstr}:
+@itemize
+@item
+This function can trigger memchr bugs on some platforms:
+glibc 2.10.
+@item
+This function can trigger false positives for long periodic needles on
+some platforms:
+glibc 2.12, Cygwin 1.7.7.
+@end itemize
+
+Portability problems fixed by Gnulib @code{strstr}:
+@itemize
+@item
+This function has quadratic instead of linear worst-case complexity on some
+platforms:
+glibc 2.8, MacOS X 10.5, FreeBSD 6.2, NetBSD 5.0, OpenBSD 4.0, AIX
+5.1, HP-UX 11, IRIX 6.5, OSF/1 5.1, Solaris 11 2010-11, Cygwin 1.5.x, mingw, MSVC 9.
+@end itemize
+
+Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
+@itemize
+@item
+This function cannot work correctly on character strings in most multibyte
+locales. Gnulib provides an alternative function @code{mbsstr} that works
+on character strings in all locales.
