   fgets

   Usage
   #include <stdio.h>
   char *fgets(char *str,int n,FILE *fp);

   Description
   Reads characters from stream fp into the string pointed to by str. The
   integer argument n indicates the maximum number of characters that the
   buffer  str can store. Reading stops when a newline is  read,  end-of-
   file is encountered, a read error occurs, or n-1 characters were read.
   Newlines  are  included in the string. The string read  is  terminated
   with a 0.

   Example
   #include <stdio.h>
   main()
   {
   char buffer[255];
   int buflen;
   char *result;
        buflen = 255;
        fputs("Enter line of data\n",stdout);
        result = fgets(buffer,buflen,stdin);
        if(!result)
             printf("\nEOF or ERROR\n");
        else
             fputs(buffer,stdout);
   }

   Return Value
   String str if successful. If no characters have been read into str and
   a  read error or EOF is encountered, NULL is returned and  the  string
   pointed  to  by  str is unchanged. If a read  error  occurs,  NULL  is
   returned and str contains garbage.
