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.
