Function memchr3

pub fn memchr3(
    needle1: u8,
    needle2: u8,
    needle3: u8,
    haystack: &[u8],
) -> Option<usize>

Search for the first occurrence of three possible bytes in a haystack.

This returns the index corresponding to the first occurrence of one of the needle bytes in haystack, or None if one is not found. If an index is returned, it is guaranteed to be less than haystack.len().

While this is semantically the same as something like haystack.iter().position(|&b| b == needle1 || b == needle2 || b == needle3), this routine will attempt to use highly optimized vector operations that can be an order of magnitude faster (or more).

Example

This shows how to find the first position of one of three possible bytes in a haystack.

use memchr::memchr3;

let haystack = b"the quick brown fox";
assert_eq!(memchr3(b'k', b'q', b'u', haystack), Some(4));
