+<h3>GETC(3) Linux Programmer's Manual GETC(3)
+</h3>
+
+<h3>NAME
+</h3> fgetc, fgets, getc, getchar, gets, ungetc - input of char-
+ acters and strings
+
+<h3>SYNOPSIS
+</h3> #include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
+
+ int fgetc(FILE *stream);
+ char *fgets(char *s, int size, FILE *stream);
+ int getc(FILE *stream);
+ int getchar(void);
+ char *gets(char *s);
+ int ungetc(int c, FILE *stream);
+
+<h3>DESCRIPTION
+</h3> fgetc() reads the next character from stream and returns
+ it as an unsigned char cast to an int, or EOF on end of
+ file or error.
+
+ getc() is equivalent to fgetc() except that it may be
+ implemented as a macro which evaluates stream more than
+ once.
+
+ getchar() is equivalent to getc(stdin).
+
+ gets() reads a line from stdin into the buffer pointed to
+ by s until either a terminating newline or EOF, which it
+ replaces with '\0'. No check for buffer overrun is per-
+ formed (see BUGS below).
+
+ fgets() reads in at most one less than n characters from
+ stream and stores them into the buffer pointed to by s.
+ Reading stops after an EOF or a newline. If a newline is
+ read, it is stored into the buffer. A '\0' is stored
+ after the last character in the buffer.
+
+ ungetc() pushes c back to stream, cast to unsigned char,
+ where it is available for subsequent read operations.
+ Pushed - back characters will be returned in reverse
+ order; only one pushback is guaranteed.
+
+ Calls to the functions described here can be mixed with
+ each other and with calls to other input functions from
+ the stdio library for the same input stream.
+
+<h3>RETURN VALUES
+</h3> fgetc(), getc() and getchar() return the character read as
+ an unsigned char cast to an int or EOF on end of file or
+ error.
+
+ gets() and fgets() return s on success, and NULL on end of
+ file or error.
+
+ ungetc() returns c on success, or EOF on error.

+
+<h3>CONFORMS TO
+</h3> ANSI - C, POSIX.1
+
+<h3>BUGS
+</h3> Because it is impossible to tell without knowing the data
+ in advance how many characters gets() will read, and
+ because gets() will continue to store characters past the
+ end of the buffer, it is extremely dangerous to use. It
+ has been used to break computer security. Use fgets()
+ instead.
+
+ It is not advisable to mix calls to input functions from
+ the stdio library with low - level calls to read() for the
+ file descriptor associated with the input stream; the
+ results will be undefined and very probably not what you
+ want.
