GETS(3S)                COMMAND REFERENCE                GETS(3S)



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;
     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 to 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.

DIAGNOSTICS
     Gets and fgets return the constant pointer NULL upon end-
     of-file or error.

CAVEATS
     Gets deletes a newline, and fgets keeps it, all in the name
     of backward compatibility.
