NAME
|
|
fgetline - read the next line from a file, newline is tossed
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
fgetline(fd)
|
|
|
|
TYPES
|
|
fd file
|
|
|
|
return str or nil
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
This function reads the next line, including any trailing newline from
|
|
the open file associated with fd. Unlike fgets, the trailing
|
|
newline is removed from the return string.
|
|
|
|
Empty lines return the null string. When the end of file is reached,
|
|
fgetline returns the null value. (Note the distinction between a null
|
|
string and a null value.)
|
|
|
|
If the line contained a numeric value, then the 'eval' function can
|
|
then be used to convert the string to a numeric value.
|
|
|
|
If a line is read, is returned minus the trailing newline, otherwise
|
|
(EOF or ERROR) nil is returned.
|
