Finding bytes in a block...

[barcaroller]

Is there a C++ or Boost function that finds a sequence of (consecutive)
bytes within a larger block of memory? Something similar to STL's
string.find().

In header <algorithm>, you will find std::search(). Of course, it takes
iterators to the needle and to the haystack, but pointers qualify.
