NAME

       firestring_estr_chug - remove whitespace from the beginning of an estring

SYNOPSIS

       #include <firestring.h>
       -lfirestring

       void firestring_estr_chug(struct firestring_estr_t *string)

DESCRIPTION

       firestring_estr_chug  shortens  string by moving the start forward until the string begins
       with a non-whitespace character or is empty.

CAVEATS

       This function moves the starting pointer inside string.   If  string  was  allocated  with
       firestring_estr_alloc(3),  (as  opposed  to  constructed  manually  pointing  inside other
       memory), future calls to firestring_estr_free(3) will fail if this  function  trimmed  any
       space  from  the  start  of  the  string.   In these cases, use firestring_estr_ip_chug(3)
       instead.

RETURN VALUE

       None.
