Actually, looking at how you used this in patch 2/2, you want to trim
all spaces up to either the newline (*endp is non-NULL) or the end of
the string (*endp is NULL), all without modifying str, so this would
need a modification:

if (!endp)
    return -1;
if (!*endp)
    *endp = (char*)str + strlen(str);
