.SH NAME
libsimple_strnstr \- find a substring in a string

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

char *libsimple_strnstr(const char *\fIhaystack\fP, const char *\fIneedle\fP, size_t \fIn\fP);

#ifndef strnstr
# define strnstr libsimple_strnstr

.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR libsimple_strnstr ()
function scans the string
.IR haystack ,
truncated to
.I n
bytes unless it is shorter,
the first occurrence of the substring
.IR needle .
.PP
The comparison is case-sensitive.

.SH RETURN VALUE
The
.BR libsimple_strnstr ()
function returns the pointer
.I haystack
with a minimal offset such that
.I r
begins with
.IR needle ,
where
.I r
is the returned pointer.
If no such offset exists,
.B NULL
is returned.

.SH ERRORS
