Actually, strsuffix() is something else:

	char *
	strsuffix_(const char *str, const char *suffix)
	{
		ptrdiff_t  off;

		off = strlen(str) - strlen(suffix);
		if (off < 0)
			return NULL;

		if (!streq(str + off, suffix))
			return NULL;

		return str + off;
	}

It finds the start of a suffix in a string.  That is:

	strcmp(strsuffix("foobar", "bar"), "bar") == 0;


Have a lovely day!
