fgets function — Reads a string
Synopsis
char* fgets(char* s, int n, FILE* stream)The fgets function reads a
line of text from stream into the
character array that s points to.
It stops reading after a newline character or after n - 1 characters have been read. The
newline character, if one is encountered, is copied into s.
The return value is s for
success or a null pointer for an error or end-of-file. If fgets fails, the contents of the string
s are undefined.
