# [−] [src] Function memchr::memrchr

    pub fn memrchr(needle: u8, haystack: &[u8]) -> Option<usize>

Search for the last occurrence of a byte in a slice.

This returns the index corresponding to the last occurrence of `needle` in `haystack`, or `None` if one is not found.

While this is operationally the same as something like `haystack.iter().rposition(|&b| b == needle)`, `memrchr` 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 last position of a byte in a byte string.

    use memchr::memrchr;

    let haystack = b"the quick brown fox";
    assert_eq!(memrchr(b'o', haystack), Some(17));

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g., `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g., `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)

Search multiple things at once by splitting your query with comma (e.g., `str,u8` or `String,struct:Vec,test`)
