Is there an equivalent to the perl command chomp in C? And if

removing the "\n" at the end of a stdin?

int flushln(FILE *f) {
int ch;

while (('\n' != (ch = getc(f))) && (EOF != ch)) continue;
return ch;
}

That's a useful function, but it's doesn't bear any particular
resemblance to Perl's chomp function.

Probably so, but I suspect it is the answer to the OPs real
question, which was not well defined.
