How can I search for substring in a buffer that contains null?

Question

Using C, I need to find a substring inside a buffer that may contain nulls.

haystack = "Some text\0\0\0\0 that has embedded nulls".
needle   = "has embedded"r 

I need to return the start of the substring, or null, similat to strstr():

request_segment_end = mystrstr(request_segment_start, boundary);

Are there any existing implementations that you know of?

Update

I found implementations of memove on google's codesearch, which I've copied here verbatim, untested,

 /*

#include <string.h>

void *memmem(const void *haystack, size_t n, const void *needle, size_t m)
{
        const unsigned char *y = (const unsigned char *)haystack;
        const unsigned char *x = (const unsigned char *)needle;

        size_t j, k, l;

        if (m > n || !m || !n)
                return NULL;

        if (1 != m) {
                if (x[0] == x[1]) {
                        k = 2;
                        l = 1;
                } else {
                        k = 1;
                        l = 2;
                }

                j = 0;
                while (j <= n - m) {
                        if (x[1] != y[j + 1]) {
                                j += k;
                        } else {
                                if (!memcmp(x + 2, y + j + 2, m - 2)
                                    && x[0] == y[j])
                                        return (void *)&y[j];
                                j += l;

You can use memmem if you are on a system that has it, like linux (it is a GNU extension). Just like strstr, but works on bytes and requires lengths of both "strings" since it doesn't check for null terminated strings.

#include <string.h>

void *memmem(const void *haystack, size_t haystacklen, const void *needle, size_t needlelen);
