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.
