Synopsis

Defined in header <cstring>
const char* strrchr( const char* str, int ch );
char* strrchr( char* str, int ch );

Finds the last occurrence of ch (after conversion to char) in the byte string
pointed to by str. The terminating null character is considered to be a part of the
string and can be found if searching for '\0'.

Parameters

str - pointer to the null-terminated byte string to be analyzed
ch - character to search for

Return value

Pointer to the found character in str, or null pointer if no such character is
found.

Example

// Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <cstring>

int main()
{
char input[] = "/home/user/hello.c";
char* output = std::strrchr(input, '/');
if(output)
std::cout << output+1 << '\n';
}

Output:

hello.c
