+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR libsimple_memelem ()
+function scans the memory segment
+.IR haystack ,
+with the size
+.IR nhaystack*nneedle ,
+for the first occurence of the byte string
+.I needle
+with the size
+.IR nneedle ,
+and with an offset equivalent to zero modulo
+.IR nneedle .
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+The
+.BR libsimple_memelem ()
+function returns the pointer
+.I s
+with a minimal offset such that
+.IR !memcmp(r,needle,nneedle) ,
+where
+.I r
+is the returned pointer, and such that
+the offset is equivalent to zero modulo
+.IR nneedle .
+If no such offset exists,
+.B NULL
+is returned.
+.SH ERRORS
+The
+.BR libsimple_memelem ()
+function cannot fail.
