# strlen function

strlen will give you the length of a string, NOT including the '\0' terminator. It should not be confused with the sizeof operator which returns the size of a variable (that could hold a string).

    Library:   string.h

    Prototype: size_t strlen(const char *s);

    Syntax:	   size_t size;
    	   char string[20]="red dwarf";
               size = strlen(string);
