memrchr - memory rear-search character

Standard C library (libc-lc)

#define _GNU_SOURCE  // See feature_test_macros(7)
#include <string.h>  // see memory.h(3head)
void *memrchr(size_t n;
              const void s[n], int c, size_t n);

memrchr() is like memchr(3), except that it searches backward from the end of the n bytes pointed to by s instead of forward from the beginning.

See memchr(3).
