.SH NAME
libsimple_memmem \- find byte string in memory

.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <libsimple.h>

void *libsimple_memmem(const void *\fIhaystack\fP, size_t \fInhaystack\fP, const void *\fIneedle\fP, size_t \fInneedle\fP);

#ifndef memmem
# define memmem libsimple_memmem
#endif
.fi
.PP
Link with
.IR \-lsimple .

.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR libsimple_memmem ()
function scans the memory segment
.IR haystack ,
with the size
.IR nhaystack ,
for the first occurence of the byte string
.I needle
with the size
.IR nneedle .
.PP
The comparison is case-sensitive.

.SH RETURN VALUE
The
.BR libsimple_memmem ()
function returns the pointer
.I s
with a minimal offset such that
.IR !memcmp(r,needle,nneedle) ,
where
.I r
is the returned pointer.
If no such offset exists,
.B NULL
is returned.

.SH ERRORS
The
.BR libsimple_memmem ()
function cannot fail.
