+.TH LIBSIMPLE_MEMELEMSCAN 3 2018-11-17 libsimple
+.SH NAME
+libsimple_memelemscan \- find aligned byte string in memory
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+#include <libsimple.h>
+
+void *libsimple_memelemscan(const void *\fIhaystack\fP, size_t \fInhaystack\fP, const void *\fIneedle\fP, size_t \fInneedle\fP);

+Link with
+.IR \-lsimple .
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR libsimple_memelemscan ()
+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 .
+If no such character exist in the memory
+segment, the memory segment's end is returned.
+.PP
+The comparison is case-sensitive.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+The
+.BR libsimple_memelemscan ()
+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,
+.I (void *)&((char *)haystack)[nhaystack*nneedle]
+is returned.
+.SH ERRORS
+The
+.BR libsimple_memelemscan ()
+function cannot fail.
+.SH ATTRIBUTES
+For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see
