  40 .Nd span the complement of a string
  41 .Sh LIBRARY
  42 .Lb libc
  43 .Sh SYNOPSIS
  44 .In string.h
  45 .Ft size_t
  46 .Fn strcspn "const char *s" "const char *charset"
  47 .Sh DESCRIPTION
  48 The
  49 .Fn strcspn
  50 function
  51 spans the initial part of the null-terminated string
  52 .Fa s
  53 as long as the characters from
  54 .Fa s
  55 do not occur in string
  56 .Fa charset
  57 (it
  58 spans the
  59 .Em complement
  60 of
  61 .Fa charset ) .
  62 In other words, it computes the string array index in
  63 .Fa s
  64 of the first character of
  65 .Fa s
  66 which is also in
  67 .Fa charset ,
  68 else the index of the first null character.
  69 .Sh RETURN VALUES
  70 The
  71 .Fn strcspn
  72 function
  73 returns the number of characters spanned.
