Function

GLibstrstr_len

Declaration [src] 

gchar*
g_strstr_len (
  const gchar* haystack,
  gssize haystack_len,
  const gchar* needle
)

Description [src]

Searches the string haystack for the first occurrence of the string needle, limiting the length of the search to haystack_len or a nul terminator byte (whichever is reached first).

A length of -1 can be used to mean “search the entire string”, like strstr().

The fact that this function returns gchar * rather than const gchar * is a historical artifact.
