.TH LIBSIMPLE_MEMELEM 3 2018-10-20 libsimple
.SH NAME
libsimple_memelem \- find aligned byte string in memory
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <libsimple.h>
void *libsimple_memelem(const void *\fIhaystack\fP, size_t \fInhaystack\fP, const void *\fIneedle\fP, size_t \fInneedle\fP);
#ifndef memelem
# define memelem libsimple_memelem
#endif

Link with
.IR \-lsimple .
.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 .
.PP
The comparison is case-sensitive.
.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.
.SH ATTRIBUTES
