firestring_estr_trim(3) Library Functions Manual firestring_estr_trim(3)NAME
firestring_estr_trim - remove whitespace from the beginning and end of an estring
SYNOPSIS
#include <firestring.h>
-lfirestring
void firestring_estr_trim(struct firestring_estr_t *string)
DESCRIPTION
firestring_estr_trim removes whitespace from the beginning and end of string.
CAVEATS
This function moves the starting pointer inside string. If string was allocated with firestring_estr_alloc(3), (as opposed to constructed
manually pointing inside other memory), future calls to firestring_estr_free(3) will fail if this function trimmed any space from the start
of the string. In these cases, use firestring_estr_ip_trim(3) instead.
RETURN VALUE
None.
