NAME fgetstr - read the next null-terminated string from a file SYNOPSIS fgetstr(fs) TYPES fs file stream open for reading return string, null or error value DESCRIPTION If the stream is at end of file, the null value is returned. If the stream cannot be read, an error value is returned. Otherwise the function returns the string of characters from the current file position to the first null character ('\0') (the file position for further reading then being immediately after the '\0'), or if no null character is encountered, the string of characters to the end of file (the string as usual being terminated by '\0'). If the stream being read is from stdin (i.e. files(0)), the characters entered are not displayed and reading ends when a '\0' is entered (on many terminals this is by ctrl-@).
