I made it "get length of a prefix substring".

Okay?

Changed since 3.41 to:
   strspn, strcspn - search a string for a set of bytes

Though IMO the title doesn't have to match with POSIX description, the current
description may be indeed too close to the strpbrk title. 

$ man strpbrk | grep -A1 NAME
NAME
   strpbrk - search a string for any of a set of bytes

Package: manpages-dev

$ man strspn | head -6
[...]
   strspn, strcspn - search a string for a set of characters

However from POSIX:

http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/strspn.html

strspn - get length of a substring

Thanks,
