.SH NAME
string-trim \- remove trailing whitespace
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
\fBstring\fP \fBtrim\fP [\fB\-l\fP | \fB\-\-left\fP] [\fB\-r\fP | \fB\-\-right\fP] [(\fB\-c\fP | \fB\-\-chars\fP) \fICHARS\fP]
            [\fB\-q\fP | \fB\-\-quiet\fP] [\fISTRING\fP \&...]

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
\fBstring trim\fP removes leading and trailing whitespace from each \fISTRING\fP\&. If \fB\-l\fP or \fB\-\-left\fP is given, only leading whitespace is removed. If \fB\-r\fP or \fB\-\-right\fP is given, only trailing whitespace is trimmed.
.sp
The \fB\-c\fP or \fB\-\-chars\fP switch causes the set of characters in \fICHARS\fP to be removed instead of whitespace. This is a set of characters, not a string \- if you pass \fB\-c foo\fP, it will remove any \(dqf\(dq or \(dqo\(dq, not just \(dqfoo\(dq as a whole.
.sp
Exit status: 0 if at least one character was trimmed, or 1 otherwise.
