Basic Library Functions Oracle Solaris 11 Express 11/10| - get a
string from a stream #include <stdio.h> char *gets(char *s);
char *fgets(char *s, int n, FILE *stream); The gets() function
reads bytes from the standard input stream (see Intro(3)),
stdin, into the array pointed to by s, until a newline character
is read or an end-of-file condition is encountered. The newline
character is discarded and the string is terminated with a null
byte. If the length of an input line exceeds the size of s,
indeterminate behavior may result. For this reason, it is
strongly recommended that gets() be avoided in favor of fgets().
The fgets() function reads bytes from the stream into the array
pointed to by s, until n-1 bytes are read, or a newline
character is read and transferred to s, or an end-of-file
condition is encountered. The string is then terminated with a
null byte. The fgets() and gets() functions may mark the
st_atime field of the file associated
