gets - Read a string from standard input

Definition	#include <stdio.h> char *gets(char *s); gets reads characters from the standard input stdin until the next newline and stores the string in the area pointed to by s, replacing the newline with the null byte (\0).
Return val.	Pointer to the result string
		if successful. gets terminates the string with the null byte (\0).
	NULL pointer	if end of file is reached or a read error occurs.
Notes	You must explicitly provide the area in which gets is to store the string read! In contrast to fgets, gets deletes a read newline character, i.e. overwrites it with the null byte. You can satisfy the EOF condition when reading from the terminal by means of the following actions: pressing the K2 key and entering the system commands EOF and RESUME-PROGRAM.
Example	The following program reads strings from the standard input and writes them to the standard output. The reading can be terminated with the K2 key and the EOF and RESUME-PROGRAM commands. #include <stdio.h> int main(void) { char s[BUFSIZ]; while(gets(s) != NULL) puts(s); return 0; }
