def greater_equal(x1, x2):
return compare_chararrays(x1, x2, '<STR_LIT>', True)<EOL>
Return (x1 >= x2) element-wise.

Unlike `numpy.greater_equal`, this comparison is performed by
first stripping whitespace characters from the end of the string.
This behavior is provided for backward-compatibility with
numarray.

Parameters
----------
x1, x2 : array_like of str or unicode
    Input arrays of the same shape.

Returns
-------
out : {ndarray, bool}
    Output array of bools, or a single bool if x1 and x2 are scalars.
