gets function

+
+

+gets is used to read a line of data from +STDIN. By default STDIN is the +keyboard. gets continues to read characters until NEWLINE or EOF +is seen. +

+ +

+Library:   stdio.h
+
+Prototype: char *gets(char *s);
+
+Syntax:    char read_line[80];
+
+	   gets( read_line);
+
+ +

Notes

+
    +
  1. gets does NOT check the size of the buffer and overflow on the +stack can occour. Because of this, you should use +fgets in preferance. +

    + +

  2. The +NEWLINE +character is NOT placed in the buffer. +fgets will retain the +NEWLINE. + + + +example +showing fgets and gets in action.
