### 5.12 `rindex`—reverse search for character in string

Synopsis

         #include <string.h>
         char * rindex(const char *string, int c);

Description
This function finds the last occurence of c (converted to a char) in the string pointed to by string (including the terminating null character).

This function is identical to `strrchr`.

Returns
Returns a pointer to the located character, or a null pointer if c does not occur in string.

Portability
`rindex` requires no supporting OS subroutines.
