-Placeholder
+These functions search the string pointed to by "string" for
+the first instance of the pattern pointed to by "pattern"
+starting at position "pos" (where the first position is 1 not
+0). The returned value is the position of the first matched
+character of the pattern in the string or zero if a match is
+not found.
+</para>
+<para>
+Findstr stops searching the string when a null byte is found in
+"string".
+</para>
+<para>
+Findnstr only stops searching at position "pos" + "len" so it may
+continue past null bytes.

+<refsect1><title>Caveats</title>
+<para>
+The current implementation does not use the most efficient
+algorithm for pattern matching so that use on very long strings
+is likely to be somewhat slower than it might be.
