Function memchr::memchr2[][src]

pub fn memchr2(needle1: u8, needle2: u8, haystack: &[u8]) -> Option<usize>
Expand description

Like memchr, but searches for either of two bytes instead of just one.

This returns the index corresponding to the first occurrence of needle1 or the first occurrence of needle2 in haystack (whichever occurs earlier), or None if neither one is found. If an index is returned, it is guaranteed to be less than usize::MAX.

While this is operationally the same as something like haystack.iter().position(|&b| b == needle1 || b == needle2), memchr2 will use a highly optimized routine that can be up to an order of magnitude faster in some cases.

Example

This shows how to find the first position of either of two bytes in a byte string.

use memchr::memchr2;

let haystack = b"the quick brown fox";
assert_eq!(memchr2(b'k', b'q', haystack), Some(4));
