This is a
function that can be easily created in
C in order to obtain a line from an
input stream without the terminating
newline character. It performs the same function as the
C++ istream::getline().
#include <stdio.h>
int fgetline(char str[], int maxlen, FILE *fp)
{
int last;
if(!fgets(str, maxlen, fp))
return -1;
last = strlen(str)-1;
if(str[last]=='\n') str[last] = '\0';
return 0;
}
