Declaration

char* gets(char* cpBuffer);

Description

This function reads a line of text into the buffer "cpBuffer" from the standard input stream "stdin." It is important to make sure that the line is not too large for the buffer. Otherwise, a buffer overrun will occur. The line of text includes all characters up to and including the endline '\ ' character, which is put into the stream as a null '' character.

Example

#include <cstdio>

int main()
{
    char caBuffer[50];
    // Get the line of text.
    gets(caBuffer);
    printf("You typed: %s\n", caBuffer);

    return 0;
}
