_chug

Removes leading whitespace from a string, by moving the rest of the characters forward.

This function doesn't allocate or reallocate any memory; it modifies string in place. Therefore, it cannot be used on statically allocated strings.

The pointer to string is returned to allow the nesting of functions.

Also see _chomp and _strip.

string

a string to remove the leading whitespace from

Returns:

string
