.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR libsimple_strnchr_inv ()
function scans the string
.IR s ,
truncated to
.I n
bytes unless it is shorter,
for the first occurence of any character
other than
.I c
(it is converted to a
.BR char ).
If no such character exist in the string,
the string's end is returned.

The comparison is case-sensitive.

.SH RETURN VALUE
The
.BR libsimple_strnchr_inv ()
function returns the pointer

with a minimal offset such that
.IR *r!=c ,
where
.I r
is the returned pointer, if no such
offset less than
.I n
exists, it returns
.BR NULL .
