Here is the detailed description for memrchr: void *memrchr(const void *s, int c, size_t n);
The memrchr() function is like the memchr() function, except that it searches backward from the end of the n bytes pointed to by s instead of forward from the beginning. The memrchr() functions return a pointer to the matching byte or NULL if the character does not occur in the given memory area.
