    Why don't you read the documentation (or source) from whomever
    supplied you that (non-standard) function?

          strspn was part of the original C standard, and is part of the current C
          standard. <OTAnd if you have trouble understanding when "whom" is
          appropriate, please just avoid it, at least until you figure it out.

              I don't see any description of what "spn" means in there.

              I think it's obvious that pretty != fit for purpose. Except that, I suppose,
              in this case pretty *is* the purpose, and rideability is relatively
              unimportant. --Eric Schwartz in the scary devil monastery
