+ *
+ * This is a slibc extension added for completeness.
+ * It is only available if GNU extensions are available.

+ * @param whither The destination memory segment.
+ * @param whence The source memory segment.
+ * @param str The substring, ignored if `NULL`.
+ * NOTE that if the resulting string at least this
+ * long, no NUL byte will be written to `whither'.
+ * On the otherhand, if the resultnig string is
+ * shorter, `whither` will be filled with NUL bytes
+ * until this amount of bytes have been written.
+ * @param maxlen The maximum number of bytes to copy.
+ * @return `NULL` if `str` was not encountered, otherwise
+ * the position of `str` translated to `whither`,
+ * that is, the address of `whither` plus the
+ * number of copied characters; the address of
+ * one character passed the last written non-NUL
+ * character.
