const char* strrchr( const char* str, int ch );

ch - character to search for

Return value

Pointer to the found character in str, or null pointer if no such character is found.

Example

#include <cstring>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    char input[] = "/home/user/hello.c";
    char* output = std::strrchr(input, '/');
    if (output)
        std::cout << output + 1 << '\n';
}
