bytes.TrimSuffix()

The TrimSuffix() function is an inbuilt function of the bytes package which is used to get the byte slice (s) without the provided trailing suffix string. If s doesn't end with suffix, s is returned unchanged.

It accepts two parameters (s, suffix []byte) and returns the byte slice (s) without the provided trailing suffix string. If s doesn't end with suffix.

Syntax:

func TrimSuffix(s, suffix []byte) []byte

Parameter(s):

• s : The byte slice for trimming.
• suffix : The trailing suffix string to be removed.

Return Value:

The return type of the TrimSuffix() function is a []byte, it returns the byte slice (s) without the provided trailing suffix string. If s doesn't end with suffix.

Example 1:

// Golang program to demonstrate the
// example of bytes.TrimSuffix() function

package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Printf("%q\n", bytes.TrimSuffix(
		[]byte("!!!Hello!!! World.!!!"), []byte("!!!")))
	fmt.Printf("%q\n", bytes.TrimSuffix(
		[]byte("   Hello    World.   "), []byte("   ")))
	fmt.Printf("%q\n", bytes.TrimSuffix(
		[]byte("Hi How are you?"), []byte("you?")))
}

Output:

"!!!Hello!!! World."
"   Hello    World."
"Hi How are "

Example 2:

// Golang program to demonstrate the
// example of bytes.TrimSuffix() function

package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	var str []byte
	var suffix []byte
	var result []byte

	str = []byte("!!!Hello!!! World.!!!")
	suffix = []byte("!!!")
	result = bytes.TrimSuffix(str, suffix)
	fmt.Printf("Original string: %q\n", str)
	fmt.Printf("Trimmed string: %q\n", result)
	fmt.Println()

	str = []byte("   Hello    World.   ")
	suffix = []byte("   ")
	result = bytes.TrimSuffix(str, suffix)
	fmt.Printf("Original string: %q\n", str)
	fmt.Printf("Trimmed string: %q\n", result)
	fmt.Println()

	str = []byte("Hi How are you?")
	suffix = []byte(" you?")
	result = bytes.TrimSuffix(str, suffix)
	fmt.Printf("Original string: %q\n", str)
	fmt.Printf("Trimmed string: %q\n", result)
}

Output:

Original string: "!!!Hello!!! World.!!!"
Trimmed string: "!!!Hello!!! World."
