.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Fd #include <rune.h>
.Ft char *
.Fn mbrune "const char *string" "rune_t rune"

.Sh DESCRIPTION
These routines provide the corresponding functionality of
.Fn strchr ,
.Fn strrchr
and
.Fn strstr
for multibyte strings.
.Pp
The
.Fn mbrune
function locates the first occurrence of
.Fn rune
in the string pointed to by
.Ar string .
The terminating
.Dv NULL
character is considered part of the string.
If
.Fa rune
is
.Ql \e0 ,
.Fn mbrune
locates the terminating
.Ql \e0 .
.Pp
The
.Fn mbrrune
function
locates the last occurrence of
.Fa rune
in the string
.Fa string .
If
.Fa rune
is
.Ql \e0 ,
.Fn mbrune
locates the terminating
.Ql \e0 .
.Pp
The
.Fn mbmb
function locates the first occurrence of the null-terminated string
.Fa pattern
in the null-terminated string
.Fa string.
If
.Fa pattern
is the empty string,
.Fn mbmb
returns
.Fa string ;
if
.Fa pattern
occurs nowhere in
.Fa string ,
.Fn mbmb
returns
.Dv NULL ;
otherwise
.Fn mbmb
returns a pointer to the first character of the first occurrence of
.Fa pattern .
