0001 /*
0002
0003 This function is modelled after the "strstr" function in
0004 string.h. There is no standard function which locates a substring in a
0005 string which is not 0-terminated. In all other respects the strnstr
0006 function is suuposed to behave as strstr, that is, it returns a
0007 pointer to the first occurence of string s2 in string s1, only that we
0008 can deal here without not 0-terminated strings and rather tell the
0009 length of the strings by the s1len and s2len parameters.
0010
0011 On some systems the memmem function does this, but it is not available on
0012 all systems.
