     Name
          strstr - Finds a string in a string.

     Syntax
          #include <string.h>

          char *strstr(string1, string2)
          const char *string1;
          const char *string2;

     Description
          The strstr function returns a pointer to the first
          occurrence of string2 in string1.

     Return Value
          The strstr function returns either a pointer to the first
          occurrence of string2 in string1, or NULL if it does not
          find string2 in string1.

     Example
          #include <string.h> #include <stdio.h>

          main()
           {
                  char *string1 = "needle in a haystack";
                  char *string2 = "hay";

                  printf("%s\n", strstr(string1,string2));
           }

          Output:

            haystack

          This program uses strstr to return a pointer to the first
          location of hay in the string string1, then prints the
          remainder of the string.
