From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | experimental‎ | basic string view

constexpr void remove_suffix(size_type n); |  | (library fundamentals TS)

Moves the end of the view back by `n` characters.

The behavior is undefined if n > size().

### Parameters

n | - | number of characters to remove from the end of the view

### Return value

(none)

### Complexity

Constant.

### Example

Run this code

    #include <iostream>
    #include <experimental/string_view>
    int main()
    {
        char arr[] = {'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', '\0', '\0', '\0'};
        std::experimental::string_view v(arr, sizeof arr);
        auto trim_pos = v.find('\0');
        if(trim_pos != v.npos)
            v.remove_suffix(v.size() - trim_pos);
        std::cout << "Array: '" << arr << "', size=" << sizeof arr << '\n'
                  << "View : '" << v << "', size=" << v.size() << '\n';
    }

Output:

    Array: 'abcd', size=7
    View : 'abcd', size=4
