string fgets
(int fp, int length)
Returns a string of up to length - 1 bytes read from the file pointed to by fp. Reading ends when length - 1 bytes have been read, on a newline (which is included in the return value), or on EOF (whichever comes first).
If an error occurs, returns false.
Common Pitfalls:
People used to the 'C' semantics of fgets should note the difference in how EOF is returned.
The file pointer must be valid, and must point to a file successfully opened by fopen(), popen(), or fsockopen().
A simple example follows:
