How do I use strcasestr()?

Question

I #include but when I call strcasestr(src, search); I get the following error message implicit declaration of function ‘strcases

Answer 1

As specified in the corresponding manpage, since strcasestr is a nonstandard extension you must #define _GNU_SOURCE before the #include <string.h> before any #include (other files may already include <string.h>, thanks @Cubbi for pointing out this potential problem); this can also easily be accomplished by specifying -D_GNU_SOURCE on the compiler command line.

Answer 2

You must add:

#define _GNU_SOURCE

before the string.h include, since the function is non-standard.
