index - character string operations (LEGACY) SYNOPSIS
#include <strings.h> char *index(const char *s, int c); DESCRIPTION
The index() function shall be equivalent to strchr(). RETURN VALUE
See strchr() . ERRORS
See strchr() . The following sections are informative. EXAMPLES
None. APPLICATION USAGE
The strchr() function is preferred over this function. For maximum portability, it is recommended to replace the function call to index() as follows: #define index(a,b) strchr((a),(b)) RATIONALE
None. FUTURE DIRECTIONS
This function may be withdrawn in a future version. SEE ALSO
