.SH NAME
|
|
.BR fgetln
|
|
\- get a line from a stream
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
#include <stdio.h>
|
|
.sp 1
|
|
char *\fBfgetln\fR (FILE *\fIstream\fR, size_t *\fIlen\fR);
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.BR fgetln
|
|
function
|
|
returns a pointer to the next line from the stream referenced by
|
|
.IR stream
|
|
This line is
|
|
.IR not
|
|
a C string as it does not end with a terminating
|
|
.BR NUL
|
|
character.
|
|
The length of the line, including the final newline,
|
|
is stored in the memory location to which
|
|
.I len
|
|
points.
|
|
(Note, however, that if the line is the last
|
|
in a file that does not end in a newline,
|
|
the returned text will not contain a newline.)
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUES
|
|
Upon successful completion a pointer is returned;
|
|
this pointer becomes invalid after the next I/O operation on
|
|
.I stream
|
|
(whether successful or not)
|
|
or as soon as the stream is closed.
|
|
Otherwise,
|
|
.BR NULL
|
|
is returned.
|
|
The
|
|
.BR fgetln
|
|
function
|
|
does not distinguish between end-of-file and error; the routines
|
|
.BR feof (3)
|
|
and
|
|
.BR ferror (3)
|
|
must be used
|
|
to determine which occurred.
|
|
If an error occurs, the global variable
|
|
.IR errno
|
|
is set to indicate the error.
|
|
The end-of-file condition is remembered, even on a terminal, and all
|
|
subsequent attempts to read will return
|
|
.BR NULL
|
|
until the condition is
|
|
cleared with
|
|
.BR clearerr (3).
|
|
.LP
|
|
The text to which the returned pointer points may be modified,
|
|
provided that no changes are made beyond the returned size.
|
|
These changes are lost as soon as the pointer becomes invalid.
|
|
.SH ERRORS
|
|
.RS
|
|
.IP \fBEBADF\fR
|
|
The argument
|
|
.I stream
|
|
is not a stream open for reading.
|
|

|
|
.LP
|
|

|

|
|
