.SH NAME
libsimple_rawmemelem_inv \- find different aligned byte string in memory

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

void *libsimple_rawmemelem_inv(const void *\fIhaystack\fP, const void *\fIneedle\fP, size_t \fIwidth\fP);

#ifndef rawmemelem_inv
# define rawmemelem_inv libsimple_rawmemelem_inv
#endif

.PP
Link with
.IR \-lsimple .

.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR libsimple_rawmemelem_inv ()
function scans the memory segment
.IR haystack ,
for the first occurence of a byte string
different from
.I needle
with the size
.IR width ,
and with an offset equivalent to zero modulo
.IR width .
.PP
The
.BR libsimple_rawmemchr ()
function assumes there is at least one
occurence, its behaviour is undefined
if this is not the case.
.PP
The comparison is case-sensitive.

.SH RETURN VALUE
The
.BR libsimple_rawmemelem_inv ()
function returns the pointer
.I s
with a minimal offset such that
.IR memcmp(r,needle,width) ,
where
.I r
is the returned pointer, and such that
the offset is equivalent to zero modulo
.IR width .
If no such offset exists, the behaviour is undefined.

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