NAME gets, fgets - get a string from a stream SYNTAX #include char *gets (s) char *s; char *fgets (s, n, stream) char *s; int n; FILE *stream; DESCRIPTION Gets reads characters from the standard input stream, stdin, into the array pointed to by s, until a new-line character is read or an end-of-file condition is encountered. The new-line character is discarded and the string is terminated with a null character. Fgets reads characters from the stream into the array pointed to by s, until n-1 characters are read, or a new- line character is read and transferred to s, or an end-of- file condition is encountered. The string is then terminated with a null character. SEE ALSO ferror(3S), fopen(3S), fread(3S), getc(3S), scanf(3S). DIAGNOSTICS If end-of-file is encountered and no characters have been read, no characters are transferred to s and a NULL pointer is returned. If a read error occurs, such as trying to use these functions on a file that has not been opened for reading, a NULL pointer is returned. Otherwise s is returned.
