- Author : Richard A. O'Keefe.
- Updated: 11 April 1984
- Defines: strpref()
-
- strpref(src, prefix)
- checks whether prefix is a prefix of src. If it is not, the result
- is NullS. If it is, the result is a pointer to the first character
- of src after the prefix (src+strlen(prefix)). You can use this in a
- conditional as a test: if (strpref(....)), but this is only portable
- provided you remember to declare strpref() properly or use strings.h
- as if (...) tests numbers against 0 and pointers against a suitable
- cast of 0; there is no guarantee that (char*)0 is represented by the
- same bit pattern as (int)0.
