STRENDZAP(3pub)

✨ STRENDZAP ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the strendzap page from the C Programmer's Manual — she's a publib girlie and she's about to end your suffix problems. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

strendzap — remove a pattern from the end of a str, if it's even there 👀

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <publib.h>
int strendzap(char *str, const char *pat);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea, bestie: strendzap looks at the end of str, and if pat is chillin' right there at the end, it removes it. iconic behaviour. 🦋

if pat is not at the end of str? she simply does nothing. no drama, no notes, just vibes. ✨

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥

• non-zero → she actually removed something, slay 💅
• 0 → nothing was removed, it's giving nothing happened 🫶

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

say you wanna remove the suffix .c from the end of a filename (classic move), you'd do this:

#include <publib.h>

strendzap(filename, ".c");

periodt. 💖
