Name
       gets, fgets - get a string from a stream

Syntax
       #include <stdio.h>

       char *gets(s)
       char *s;

       char *fgets(s, n, stream)
       char *s;
       int n;
       FILE *stream;

Description
       The routine 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.  The routine returns its argument.

       The routine reads n-1 characters, or up to a newline character, whichever comes first, from the stream into the string s.  The last charac-
       ter read into s is followed by a null character.  The routine returns its first argument.

Restrictions
       The routine deletes a newline, while keeps it.

Diagnostics
       The and routines return the constant pointer NULL upon end of file or error.

NAME

       gets, fgets - get a string from a stream

SYNOPSIS

       #include <stdio.h>

       char *gets(char *s)
       char *fgets(char *s, int n, 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 through a newline character, whichever comes first, from the stream into the string s.  The last  charac-
       ter read into s is followed by a null character.  Fgets returns its first argument.

SEE ALSO

       puts(3), getc(3), scanf(3), fread(3), ferror(3).

DIAGNOSTICS

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

BUGS

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

       Gets is not present in the Minix-vmd C library for reasons that should be obvious.  Use fgets instead.
