Synopsis
char* fgets(char* s, int n, FILE* stream)
The fgets
function reads a
line of text from stream

It stops reading after a newline character or after n
- 1 characters have been read. The
newline character, if one is encountered, is copied into s
.

success or a null pointer for an error or end-of-file. If fgets
fails, the contents of the string
s
are undefined.
