n             The maximum number of characters to examine.

Return Values 

x             A pointer to the first occurrence of the character.  If the

Description 

The memchr function returns a pointer to the first occurrence of

of the s array are examined.  This function does not terminate when a
null character is encountered.  Each character is treated as an unsigned
character.
