char *strstr(const char *s1, const char *s2);

The strstr() function locates the first  occurrence  of  the
string  s2  (excluding  the  terminating  null character) in
string  s1. The strstr() function returns a pointer  to  the
located  string,  or  a  null  pointer  if the string is not
found. If  s2 points to a string with zero length (that  is,
the string ""), the function returns  s1.

So for
char *spam = "cooked eggs";
strstr(spam, "eggs");
will return a pointer to spam+7
