Write the following function in C.
stripos — Find position of first occurrence of a case-
insensitive string
int stripos ( char* haystack, char* needle, int offset )
Returns the numeric position of the first occurrence of
needle in the
haystack string. Note that the needle may be a string of
one or more
characters. If needle is not found, stripos() will return -
1.
The function should not make use of any C library function
calls.

#include<stdio.h>
int stripos(char* haystack, char* needle, int offset );
void main()
{
char a1[200], a2[20];
int iPostn = 0;
printf("ENTER THE HAYSTACK STRING:\n");
gets(a1);
printf("\nENTER THE STRING - TO BE SEARCHED\n");
gets(a2);
iPostn = stripos(&a1[0], &a2[0], iPostn);
if(iPostn > 0)
printf("\nSTRING STARTS AT THE POSITION: %d\n", iPostn);
else
printf("\nSTRING NOT FOUND: %d\n", iPostn);
getch();
}
int stripos(char* haystack, char* needle, int offset )
{
char ch, *needle1;
int pos = 0, temp;
