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.
