fgets reads one line from the fp file stream into the buffer pointed to by buf. No more than size-1 bytes are read. The line is null-terminated.

Synopsis

#include <stdio.h>
char *fgets(char *buf, int size, FILE *fp);

Examples

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
  char line[256];

  fgets(line, 256, stdin);

  puts(line);

  return 0;
}

This will read one line of up to 255 bytes from stdin and write it to stdout.
