@subheading Syntax

@example
#include <string.h>

char *rindex(const char *string, int ch);

@subheading Description

Note that the @code{NULL} character counts, so if you pass zero as
@var{ch} you'll get a pointer to the end of the string back. 

@subheading Return Value

A pointer to the character, or @code{NULL} if it wasn't found.

@example
char *extension = rindex(path, '.');
if (extension)
  extension++;
