STRREV(3)                    C Programmer's Manual                   STRREV(3)

NAME
       strrev - reverse a string in place

SYNOPSIS
       #include <publib.h>
       char *strrev(char *str);

DESCRIPTION
       strrev reverses the argument string in place, i.e., it swaps the ith
       character from the beginning with the ith character from the end.

RETURN VALUE
       strrev returns its argument.

EXAMPLE
       Reversing "dlrow, elloh" would be done like the following.

            char str[] = "dlrow, elloh";

            puts(strrev(str));

       This would output "hello, world".  Note that using the string literal
       as the argument would be an error, since it is not allowable to modify
       string literals.

BUGS
       Does not automatically detect palindromes, nor automatically return
       without doing anything.
