Why don't you read the documentation (or source) from whomever
supplied you that (non-standard) function?

strspn was part of the original C standard, and is part of the current C
standard. <OTAnd if you have trouble understanding when "whom" is
appropriate, please just avoid it, at least until you figure it out.

# 7.21.5.6 The strspn function
#
# Synopsis
#
# [#1]
#
# #include <string.h>
# size_t strspn(const char *s1, const char *s2);
#
# Description
#
# [#2] The strspn function computes the length of the maximum
# initial segment of the string pointed to by s1 which
# consists entirely of characters from the string pointed to
# by s2.
#
# Returns
#
# [#3] The strspn function returns the length of the segment.

I don't see any description of what "spn" means in there.

I think it's obvious that pretty != fit for purpose. Except that, I suppose,
in this case pretty *is* the purpose, and rideability is relatively
unimportant. --Eric Schwartz in the scary devil monastery
