char * SDL_strstr(const char *haystack, const char *needle);

Description

Note that this looks for strings of _bytes_, not _characters_, so it's legal to search for malformed and incomplete UTF-8 sequences.

haystack

the string to search. Must not be NULL.

needle

the string to search for. Must not be NULL.

Return Value

Returns a pointer to the first instance of needle in the string, or NULL if not found.
