How to compare ends of strings in C?

by

Don’t call strlen more than once per string.

int EndsWith(const char *str, const char *suffix)
{
    if (!str || !suffix)
        return 0;
    size_t lenstr = strlen(str);
    size_t lensuffix = strlen(suffix);
    if (lensuffix >  lenstr)
        return 0;
    return strncmp(str + lenstr - lensuffix, suffix, lensuffix) == 0;
}

int EndsWithFoo(const char *str) { return EndsWith(str, ".foo"); }

EDIT: added NULL check for the pedantic. For the ultra pedantic, debate whether it should return non-zero if both str and suffix are both NULL.
