NAME

       strtrim - remove leading and trailing whitespace

SYNOPSIS

       #include <publib.h>
       char *strtrim(char *s);

DESCRIPTION

       strtrim	removes  all whitespace characters from the beginning and the end of a string.	As whitespace is counted everything for which iss-
       pace(3) returns true.

RETURN VALUE

       strtrim returns its argument.

EXAMPLE

       To remove whitespace from the beginning and end of all lines, you might do the following:

	    #include <publib.h>

	    int main(void) {
		 char line[512];

		 while (fgets(line, sizeof(line), stdio) != NULL) {
		      strtrim(line);
		      printf("%s", line);
		 }
		 return 0;
	    }

NAME

       strsub - substitute first occurence of pattern with another string

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       strsub  finds the first occurence of the pattern pat in the string str (using a method similar to strstr(3), i.e., no regular expressions),
       and replaces it with sub.  If pat does not occur in str, no substitution is made.

       Of course, if sub is an empty string, the pattern is deleted from the string.

RETURN VALUE

       strsub returns a pointer to the first character after the substitution, or NULL if no substitution was made.

EXAMPLE

       To substitute up to two occurences of "foo" with "bar" in a line, one might do the following.

	    p = strsub(line, "foo", "bar");
	    if (p != NULL)
		 strsub(line, "foo", "bar");
