I'd think that the function isn't all that generic, when would you want to use it (outside of the sysfs braindamage)? Sure, its definition might sound generic, but I wouldn't think you should use it often anyway.

So this is what the future looks like... not very impressive. I thought we'd all be using CORBA-connected dataflow languages by now!
The last things through the 2.6.26 merge window Posted May 8, 2008 16:47 UTC (Thu) by jzbiciak (✭ supporter ✭, #5246) [Link] Well, there's chop() and there's chomp(). Methinks chomp() is more appropriate to handle optional newlines. :-)
