The strnchr() is not suitable for obtaining the end of a string with a length
exceeding 1 and ending with a NUL character.

Could you give more detailed explanation with specific examples? I think
strnchr() does the right thing here. Note that if fmt is not NULL,
strnchrnul() never returns NULL pointer so in the change below,
'if (!fmt_end)' will be always false.

My mistake, strnchr() work well.
