memchr, memrchrlocate byte in byte string

#include <string.h>

void *
memchr(const void *b, int c, size_t len);

void *
memrchr(const void *b, int c, size_t len);

The () function locates the first occurrence of c (converted to an unsigned char) in string b.

The () function behaves like memchr(), except that it locates the last occurrence of c in string b.

The memchr() and memrchr() functions return a pointer to the byte located, or NULL if no such byte exists within len bytes.
