3 <<strlen>>---character string length
10 size_t strlen(const char *<[str]>);
14 size_t strlen(<[str]>)
18 The <<strlen>> function works out the length of the string
19 starting at <<*<[str]>>> by counting chararacters until it
20 reaches a <<NULL>> character.
23 <<strlen>> returns the character count.
28 <<strlen>> requires no supporting OS subroutines.
