   noexcept(/* see below */);
   Finds the last character equal to one of characters in the given character sequence.
   The exact search algorithm is not specified. The search considers only the range
   [0, pos]. If none of the characters in the given character sequence is present in
   the range, npos will be returned.
   1) Finds the last character equal to one of characters in str.
   2) Finds the last character equal to one of characters in range [s, s + count). This
   range can include null characters.
   If [s, s + count) is not a valid range, the behavior is undefined.
   3) Finds the last character equal to one of characters in character string pointed
   to by s. The length of the string is determined by the first null character using
   Traits::length(s).
   If [s, s + Traits::length(s)) is not a valid range, the behavior is undefined.
   4) Finds the last character equal to ch.
   5) Implicitly converts t to a string view sv as if by std::basic_string_view<CharT,
   Traits> sv = t;, then finds the last character equal to one of characters in sv.
   This overload participates in overload resolution only if
   std::is_convertible_v<const StringViewLike&,
                        std::basic_string_view<CharT, Traits>> is true and
   std::is_convertible_v<const StringViewLike&, const CharT*> is false.
   In all cases, equality is checked by calling Traits::eq.

Parameters
   str - string identifying characters to search for
   pos - position at which the search is to finish
   count - length of character string identifying characters to search for
   s - pointer to a character string identifying characters to search for
   ch - character to search for
   t - object (convertible to std::basic_string_view) identifying characters to
           search for

Return value
   Position of the found character or npos if no such character is found.

Exceptions
   1,4) Throws nothing.
   5)
   noexcept specification:
   noexcept(std::is_nothrow_convertible_v<const T&, std::basic_string_view<CharT,
   Traits>>)
   If an exception is thrown for any reason, this function has no effect (strong
   exception safety guarantee).

Example
// Run this code
 #include <iostream>
 #include <string>
 int main()
 {
     const std::string path = "/root/config";
     auto const pos = path.find_last_of('/');
     const auto leaf = path.substr(pos + 1);
     std::cout << leaf << '\n';
 }

Output:
 config

   The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to
   previously published C++ standards.
      DR Applied to Behavior as published Correct behavior
   LWG 141 C++98 overload (1) could only return npos the search range is
                       if pos >= size() [0, size()) in this case
   LWG 847 C++98 there was no exception safety added strong exception
                       guarantee safety guarantee
   LWG 2064 C++11 overloads (3,4) were noexcept removed
   LWG 2946 C++17 overload (5) caused ambiguity in avoided by making it a
                       some cases template
