+.SH NAME
+strrchr \- string scanning operation

+char *strrchr(const char *\fP\fIs\fP\fB, int\fP \fIc\fP\fB);

+\fP
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+The \fIstrrchr\fP() function shall locate the last occurrence of \fIc\fP
+(converted to a \fBchar\fP) in the string pointed to
+by \fIs\fP. The terminating null byte is considered to be part of
+the string.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+.LP
+Upon successful completion, \fIstrrchr\fP() shall return a pointer
+to the byte or a null pointer if \fIc\fP does not occur in
+the string.
+.SH ERRORS
+.LP
+No errors are defined.
+.LP
+\fIThe following sections are informative.\fP
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.SS Finding the Base Name of a File
+.LP
+The following example uses \fIstrrchr\fP() to get a pointer to the
+base name of a file. The \fIstrrchr\fP() function searches
+backwards through the name of the file to find the last \fB'/'\fP
+character in \fIname\fP. This pointer (plus one) will point
+to the base name of the file.
