@node Strings @chapter Strings and Memory (@file{string.h}) This chapter describes string-handling functions and functions for managing areas of memory. The corresponding declarations are in @file{string.h}. @menu * bcmp:: Compare two memory areas * bcopy:: Copy memory regions * bzero:: Initialize memory to zero * index:: Search for character in string * memccpy:: Copy memory regions up to end-token * memchr:: Find character in memory * memcmp:: Compare two memory areas * memcpy:: Copy memory regions * memmem:: Find memory segment * memmove:: Move possibly overlapping memory * mempcpy:: Copy memory regions and locate end * memset:: Set an area of memory * rindex:: Reverse search for character in string * stpcpy:: Copy string returning a pointer to its end * stpncpy:: Counted copy string returning a pointer to its end * strcasecmp:: Compare strings ignoring case * strcasestr:: Find string segment ignoring case * strcat:: Concatenate strings * strchr:: Search for character in string * strcmp:: Character string compare * strcoll:: Locale-specific character string compare * strcpy:: Copy string * strcspn:: Count chars not in string * strerror:: Convert error number to string * strerror_r:: Convert error number to string * strlen:: Character string length * strlwr:: Convert string to lowercase * strncasecmp:: Compare strings ignoring case * strncat:: Concatenate strings * strncmp:: Character string compare * strncpy:: Counted copy string * strnlen:: Character string length * strpbrk:: Find chars in string * strrchr:: Reverse search for character in string * strspn:: Find initial match * strstr:: Find string segment * strtok:: Get next token from a string * strupr:: Convert string to upper case * strxfrm:: Transform string * swab:: Swap adjacent bytes * wcscasecmp:: Compare wide character strings ignoring case * wcsdup:: Wide character string duplicate * wcsncasecmp:: Compare wide character strings ignoring case @end menu @page @include string/bcmp.def @page @include string/bcopy.def @page @include string/bzero.def @page @include string/index.def @page @include string/memccpy.def @page @include string/memchr.def @page @include string/memcmp.def @page @include string/memcpy.def @page @include string/memmem.def @page @include string/memmove.def @page @include string/mempcpy.def @page @include string/memset.def @page @include string/rindex.def @page @include string/stpcpy.def @page @include string/stpncpy.def @page @include string/strcasecmp.def @page @include string/strcasestr.def @page @include string/strcat.def @page @include string/strchr.def @page @include string/strcmp.def @page @include string/strcoll.def @page @include string/strcpy.def @page @include string/strcspn.def @page @include string/strerror.def @page @include string/strerror_r.def @page @include string/strlen.def @page @include string/strlwr.def @page @include string/strncasecmp.def @page @include string/strncat.def @page @include string/strncmp.def @page @include string/strncpy.def @page @include string/strnlen.def @page @include string/strpbrk.def @page @include string/strrchr.def @page @include string/strspn.def @page @include string/strstr.def @page @include string/strtok.def @page @include string/strupr.def @page @include string/strxfrm.def @page @include string/swab.def @page @include string/wcscasecmp.def @page @include string/wcsdup.def @page @include string/wcsncasecmp.def
