gets

Reads at most s.length - 1 characters from the given file stream and stores them in s.

The produced character string is always null-terminated. Parsing stops if end-of-file occurs or a newline character is found, in which case str will contain that newline character.

Example: Read chars from a stream:

public static int main (string[] args) {
	// Opens "foo.txt" for reading ("r")
	FileStream stream = FileStream.open ("filestream.vala", "r");
	assert (stream != null);

	// buffered:
	char buf[100];
	while (stream.gets (buf) != null) {
		print ((string) buf);
	}

	return 0;
}

valac --pkg glib-2.0 GLib.FileStream.gets.vala

Parameters:

s	buf to read the characters to

Returns:

buf on success, null on an error
