/**
* chomp - Perl like chomp function, chop off last char(s) if newline.

*
* This function is like Perl chomp, but it's set to chop of all
* trailing newlines. Useful in combination with fgets().
*
* Returns:
* If @str is a valid pointer this function returns @str, otherwise
* @errno is set to %EINVAL and this function returns %NULL.
