wel in fact this should set a boolean "found" and unsigned "position"

   find_character_position(txt, 'x');
   if(found) printf("found at %d", position);

it looks weird as soem must know thet  {find_character_position, found, 
  position} is a set of names provided by thsi function not only the 
name but coders are expected to know function name so they could be 
expected to know whole set...
