uoffset(3)			 Allegro manual 		      uoffset(3)

NAME
     uoffset  -  Finds	the offset of a character in a string. Allegro game pro-
     gramming library.

SYNOPSIS
     #include <allegro.h>

     int uoffset(const char *s, int index);

DESCRIPTION
     Finds out the offset (in bytes from the start of the string) of the charac-
     ter at the specified `index' in the string `s'. A	zero  `index'  parameter
     will  return  the first character of the string. If `index' is negative, it
     counts backward from the end of the string, so an `index' of `-1' will  re-
     turn an offset to the last character. Example:

	int from_third_letter = uoffset(text_string, 2);

RETURN VALUE
     Returns the offset in bytes to the specified character.
