     char *
     strstr(const char *big, const char *little);


DESCRIPTION

     The strstr() function locates the first occurrence of the null-terminated

     string, strstr() returns big; if little occurs nowhere in big, strstr()
     returns NULL; otherwise strstr() returns a pointer to the first character
     of the first occurrence of little.
