firestring_estr_chug(3)                     DragonFly Library Functions Manual

NAME

firestring_estr_chug - remove whitespace from the beginning of an estring

SYNOPSIS

#include <firestring.h> -lfirestring void firestring_estr_chug(struct firestring_estr_t *string)

DESCRIPTION

firestring_estr_chug shortens string by moving the start forward until the string begins with a non-whitespace character or is empty.

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_chug(3) instead.

RETURN VALUE

None.
