Explanation on trim suffix bytes in slice of bytes in go

1)
s := []byte("foo bar 123 4  baz")
prefix := []bytes("baz")

Output:
"foo bar 123 4  "

2)
s := []byte("foo bar 123 4  baz")
prefix := []bytes("bar")

Output:
"foo bar 123 4  baz"

3)
s := []byte("foo bar 123 4  baz")
prefix := []bytes("")

Output:
"foo bar 123 4  baz"

4)
s := []byte("foo bar 123 4  baz")
prefix := []bytes("John")

Output:
"foo bar 123 4  baz"

Example:

Code 1:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "bytes"
)


func main() {
    s := []byte("foo bar 123 4  baz")
    prefix := []byte("baz")
    
    fmt.Printf("%q", bytes.TrimSuffix(s, prefix))
    
    
    s = []byte("foo bar 123 4  baz")
    prefix = []byte("bar")
    
    fmt.Printf("\n%q", bytes.TrimSuffix(s, prefix))
    
    
    s = []byte("foo bar 123 4  baz")
    prefix = []byte("")
    
    fmt.Printf("\n%q", bytes.TrimSuffix(s, prefix))
    
    
    s = []byte("foo bar 123 4  baz")
    prefix = []byte("John")
    
    fmt.Printf("\n%q", bytes.TrimSuffix(s, prefix))
}

Output:

% go run sample.go

"foo bar 123 4  "
"foo bar 123 4  baz"
"foo bar 123 4  baz"
"foo bar 123 4  baz"
