| Is there any sort of function or linux command that would check a string for a certain character? For example:
Would check the buffer 'buf' for "death". Does Smaug or linux have anything like that? If not, how would I got about doing that? Basically, I want to check a pcdata string for if it has the characters name in it. |

| You can use the strstr function, like such
It returns true if the second argument is found in the first. |

| Thanks, although it is case sensitive. Should I follow how Smaug did str_cmp? (Where was that defined?)
[EDIT] str_str seems to already exist in grub.c |
