NAME
       bgets() - read stream up to next delimiter

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
       reads  characters  from	stream	into  buffer until either count is exhausted or one of the characters in breakstring is encountered in the
       stream.	The read data is terminated with a null byte and a pointer to the trailing null  is  returned.	 If  a	breakstring  character	is
       encountered, the last nonnull is the delimiter character that terminated the scan.

       Note that, except for the fact that the returned value points to the of the read string rather than to the beginning, the call

       is identical to

       There is always enough room reserved in the buffer for the trailing null.

       If  breakstring	is  a null pointer, the value of breakstring from the previous call is used.  If breakstring is null at the first call, no
       characters will be used to delimit the string.

       To use this interface, link in the libgen library by specifying For example:

RETURN VALUE
       NULL is returned on error or end-of-file.  Reporting the condition is delayed to the next call if any characters  were  read  but  not  yet
       returned.
