The line consists of all characters up to and including the first newline character (\n). The gets function then replaces the newline character with a null character (\0) before returning the line. In contrast, the fgets function retains the newline character. Return Value If successful, the gets function returns its argument. A NULL pointer indicates an error or end-of-file condition. Use ferror or feof to determine which one has occurred. -♦-
