MirOS Manual: getline(3)

GETLINE(3)                 BSD Programmer's Manual                  GETLINE(3)

NAME

     getline - get a line from a stream

SYNOPSIS

     #define _GNU_SOURCE
     #include <stdio.h>

     ssize_t
     getline(char **buf, size_t *len, FILE *stream);

DESCRIPTION

     The getline() function is a GNU extension and should not be used in new
     code. It is only implemented in MirOS for compatibility reasons. Thus, no
     description is provided, but feel free to send us a diff. It basically
     does the same as fgetln(3), reallocating or resizing the *buf argument if
     necessary, and NUL-terminating the result.

HISTORY

     The getline() function was first introduced to BSD in MirOS #10.

 GNU                          November 20, 2006                              1
