consists entirely of slash characters, string is set to a single slash character. If there are any trailing slash characters in string,
they are removed. If the suffix operand is present but not identical to the characters remaining in string, but it is identical to a suf-
fix of the characters remaining in string, the suffix is removed from string. is normally used inside command substitution marks within
shell procedures.
