strendzap (3pub)

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

strendzap removes pat from the end of str if it is there. Otherwise, it does nothing.

strendzap returns non-zero if it removed anything, 0 if not.

To remove the suffix .c from the end of a filename, you might do this:

#include <publib.h>

strendzap(filename, ".c");

publib(3), strzap(3)
