+Fgets reads characters from the file "fp" and places them in
+the buffer pointed to by "s" up to a carriage return ('\n') but
+not more than "n" - 1 characters. A null character is appended
+to the end of the string.
+</para>
+<para>
+Gets is similar to fgets, but gets is applied to "stdin" and no
+maximum is stipulated and '\n' is replaced by a null.
