+.Sh NAME
+.Nm fgets ,
+.Nm gets
+.Nd get a line from a stream
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libc
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In stdio.h
+.Ft char *
+.Fn fgets "char * restrict str" "int size" "FILE * restrict stream"
+.Ft char *
+.Fn gets "char *str"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn fgets
+function
+reads at most one less than the number of characters specified by
+.Fa size
+from the given
+.Fa stream
+and stores them in the string
+.Fa str .
+Reading stops when a newline character is found,
+at end-of-file or error.
+The newline, if any, is retained.
+If any characters are read and there is no error, a
+.Ql \e0
+character is appended to end the string.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn gets
+function
+is equivalent to
+.Fn fgets
+with an infinite
+.Fa size
+and a
+.Fa stream
+of
+.Dv stdin ,
+except that the newline character (if any) is not stored in the string.
+It is the caller's responsibility to ensure that the input line,
+if any, is sufficiently short to fit in the string.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+Upon successful completion,
+.Fn fgets
+and
+.Fn gets
+return
+a pointer to the string.
+If end-of-file occurs before any characters are read,
+they return
+.Dv NULL
+and the buffer contents remain unchanged.
+If an error occurs,
+they return
+.Dv NULL
+and the buffer contents are indeterminate.
+The
+.Fn fgets
+and
+.Fn gets
+functions
+do not distinguish between end-of-file and error, and callers must use
+.Xr feof 3
+and
+.Xr ferror 3
+to determine which occurred.
+.Sh ERRORS
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EBADF
+The given
+.Fa stream
+is not a readable stream.
+.El
+.Pp
+The function
+.Fn fgets
+may also fail and set
+.Va errno
+for any of the errors specified for the routines
+.Xr fflush 3 ,
+.Xr fstat 2 ,
+.Xr read 2 ,
+or
+.Xr malloc 3 .
+.Pp
+The function
+.Fn gets
+may also fail and set
+.Va errno
+for any of the errors specified for the routine
+.Xr getchar 3 .
+.Sh SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS
+The
+.Fn gets
+function cannot be used securely.
+Because of its lack of bounds checking,
+and the inability for the calling program
+to reliably determine the length of the next incoming line,
+the use of this function enables malicious users
+to arbitrarily change a running program's functionality through
+a buffer overflow attack.
+It is strongly suggested that the
+.Fn fgets
+function be used in all cases.
