strstr is a useful function for finding a substring.

but with strstr we can find the exact name.i want to type part of the name then compiler shows me all of the names with this part then i can choose.

No, you're thinking of strcmp. strstr is a function that finds substrings of a string, so if you give it the parameters "look it up in the docs bozo" and "docs" then it will give you a pointer to "docs", thus confirming that "docs" is indeed in the string.
