Subject: [PATCH 2/2] string: add nonempty helper
Date: Tue, 28 May 2024 10:25:42 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240528082542.3013919-2-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240528082542.3013919-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de>

We have a number of places where we coerce an empty string to NULL to
make life easier for callers. Add a helper that can be used in idioms
like:

  getenv_nonempty(s) -> nonempty(getenv(s));

Just talked with Oleksij and this would have been useful for a patch he
is preparing.
