Some older System V's also might not have the latter, although, these days, most UN*Xes have both.

(V7 had index() and rindex(), and BSD came from that stream; System III, and possibly the earlier USG/USDL UNIXes, renamed them to strchr() and strrchr().  As indicated, most UN*Xes these days offer both, to support building software written for both flavors.

The ANSI C standard went with strchr() and strrchr(), so that's what should be used in any case.)
