From 34990cf702bdf2b4964e0629dab4af7669f8b2c5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Brownell Date: Thu, 1 May 2008 04:34:42 -0700 Subject: Add a new sysfs_streq() string comparison function Add a new sysfs_streq() string comparison function, which ignores the trailing newlines found in sysfs inputs. By example: sysfs_streq("a", "b") ==> false sysfs_streq("a", "a") ==> true sysfs_streq("a", "a\n") ==> true sysfs_streq("a\n", "a") ==> true This is intended to simplify parsing of sysfs inputs, letting them avoid the need to manually strip off newlines from inputs.
