Do the operations in Disk Utility or diskutil TRIM blocks on the disk or partition being operated on that are effectively erased?

For example, if one is completely repartitioning a disk, or erasing a partition with a new filesystem, then I would think you would want to TRIM all the blocks on the disk.

If Disk Utility or diskutil doesn't do this, is there a way to TRIM the blocks on a disk or partition? Is there a command on Linux that would do this?
