C,

This is a sample code that I wrote on a HP-UX 11.11 system. This prints a prompt and takes input. It does not act on the input, except when it receives exit - it exits.

Code:
#include<stdio.h>

int main() {
        char argarray[80];
        while(1) {
                fprintf(stdout,"! ");
                fgets(argarray,80,stdin);
                argarray[strlen(argarray)-1]='\0';
                if(!strcmp(argarray,"exit")){
                        break;
                }
                /*fprintf(stdout,"%s was input.\n",argarray);*/
        }
        exit(0);
}

You can uncomment the fprintf in the end to echo what was input.

NAME
explain_fgets_or_die - input of strings and report errors SYNOPSIS
#include <libexplain/fgets.h> char *explain_fgets_or_die(char *data, int data_size, FILE *fp); DESCRIPTION
The explain_fgets_or_die function is used to call the fgets(3) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from explain_fgets(3), and then the process terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE). This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example: explain_fgets_or_die(data, data_size, fp); data The data, exactly as to be passed to the fgets(3) system call. data_size The data_size, exactly as to be passed to the fgets(3) system call. fp The fp, exactly as to be passed to the fgets(3) system call. Returns: This function only returns on success; data when a line is read, or NULL on end-of-file. On failure, prints an explanation and exits. SEE ALSO
