Remove Duplicate Characters from a String

Code

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <string.h>

void rem_char(char *str, int i) {
    for (int j = i; j < strlen(str); j++) {
        str[j] = str[j + 1];
    }
}

void remove_duplicates(char *str) {
    for (int i = 0; i < strlen(str); i++) {
        for (int j = i + 1; j < strlen(str); j++) {
            if (str[j] == str[i]) rem_char(str, j);
        }
    }
}

int main() {
    char str[101];
    fgets(str, sizeof(str), stdin);

    // Remove newline
    uint8_t i = 0;
    while (str[i]) {
        if (str[i] == '\n') {
            str[i] = '\0';
            break;
        }
        i++;
    }

    remove_duplicates(str);
    printf("%s", str);
    return 0;
}
