NAME
gets, fgets - get a string from a stream
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdio.h>
char *gets(s)
char *s;
char *fgets(s, n, stream)
char *s;
size_t n;
FILE *stream;
DESCRIPTION
Gets reads a string into s from the standard input stream
stdin.
The string is terminated by a newline character, which is
replaced
in s by a null character. Gets returns its argument.
Fgets reads n-1 characters, or
up through a newline character,
whichever comes first, from the stream into the string s.
The last
character read into s is followed by a null character. Fgets
returns its first argument.
SEE ALSO
puts(3), getc(3), scanf(3), fread(3), ferror(3)
DIAGNOSTICS
Gets and fgets return the constant pointer NULL upon end of
file or
error.
BUGS
Gets deletes a newline, fgets keeps it, all in the name of
backward
compatibility.
