gets, fgets − get a string from a stream
#include <stdio.h>
char
*gets(s)
char *s;
char
*fgets(s, n, stream)
char *s;
FILE *stream;
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 to a newline character, whichever comes first, from the stream into the string s. The last character read into s is followed by a null character. Fgets returns its first argument.
puts(3), getc(3), scanf(3), fread(3), ferror(3)
Gets and fgets return the constant pointer NULL upon end of file or error.
Gets deletes a newline, fgets keeps it, all in the name of backward compatibility.
