return true if strings are equal, modulo trailing newline

## NAME

sysfs\_streq - return true if strings are equal, modulo trailing newline

## SYNOPSIS

**bool sysfs\_streq(const char \*** *s1***, const char \*** *s2***);**

## ARGUMENTS

*s1*

one string

*s2*

another string

## DESCRIPTION

This routine returns true iff two strings are equal, treating both NUL and newline-then-NUL as equivalent string terminations. It's geared for use with sysfs input strings, which generally terminate with newlines but are compared against values without newlines.
