function: lx

function: lx_chomp()

char lx_chomp(lx_s *s, char *cstr)

return value	0 on success (1 on out-of-memory error)
allocation ensured	n/a
previous allocation required	yes

EXAMPLE:


char get_line (gd, s, match)
	lx_gd *gd;
	lx_s *s;
	char *match;
{
	if (lx_getln(s, gd, match, 4096)) _exit (1);
	return lx_chomp (s, '\n\r '); /* remove newline, and any carriage */
	                              /* returns or spaces that may exist */
	                              /* at the end of s                  */
}
