NAME
       memrchr - memory rear-search character

LIBRARY
       Standard C library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
       #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);

DESCRIPTION
       memrchr() is like memchr(3), except that it searches backward from the

       beginning.
