fgets 之用法

今天在看ObjectiveC,看到了一个fgets的例子，才发现对于fgets的理解不够透彻。

fgets 的使用方法：char *fgets(char *string, int n, FILE *stream) 

从文件stream中读取n-1个字符/一行（若一行不满n-1个），string接收字符串

 如果n <= 0，返回NULL

 如果n == 1，返回" "，也就是一个空串

 如果成功，返回值等于string， 也就是获得字符串的首地址

 如果出错，或者读到FILE的结尾，返回NULL.

下面看例子:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main( )
{
 FILE* wordFile = fopen("words.txt","r");
 char word[100];
 
 while(fgets(word, 100, wordFile))
 {
  word[strlen(word)-1] = '/0';
  printf("%s is %d characters long/n", word, strlen(word));
 }
 fclose(wordFile);
 return (0);
}

words.txt的内容如下(共4行，第4行，为空)：

apple trees
many books on the desk
have a cup of water

运行后，输出结果如下：

apple trees is 11 characters long

many books on the desk is 22 characters long

have a cup of water is 19 charcters long

从上面的例子看出，若一行不满100个字符时，fgets可以从文件中读取一行。这点，以前，没有注意到。

fgets 函数的使用

fgets 既可以读文件，又可以读标准输入，而且可以防止溢出。但是它只能输入字符串(且能读到回车符/n)，故而用scanf语句的较多。scanf语句可以输入各种格式的数据，其功能较为强大。

fgets 的使用方法：char *fgets(char *string, int n, FILE *stream) 

从文件stream中读取n-1个字符/一行（若一行不满n-1个），string接收字符串

 如果n == 1，返回" "，也就是一个空串

 如果成功，返回值等于string， 也就是获得字符串的首地址

 如果出错，或者读到FILE的结尾，返回NULL

//通过while循环一行行取，读到文件末尾就是NULL了 ----读取整个文件
#include <stdio.h>

void main( void )
{
FILE *stream;
char line[100];

if( (stream = fopen( "file.txt", "r" )) != NULL )
{
while( fgets( line, 100, stream ) != NULL)
printf( "%s", line);
fclose( stream );
}
}

以下是fgets这个函数的实现：

*Purpose:
* defines fgets() - read a string from a file
*

/***
*char *fgets(string, count, stream) - input string from a stream
*
*Purpose:
* get a string, up to count-1 chars or '/n', whichever comes first,
* append '/0' and put the whole thing into string. the '/n' IS included
* in the string. if count<=1 no input is requested. if EOF is found
* immediately, return NULL. if EOF found after chars read, let EOF
* finish the string as '/n' would.
*
*Entry:
* char *string - pointer to place to store string
* int count - max characters to place at string (include /0)
* FILE *stream - stream to read from
*
*Exit:
* returns string with text read from file in it.
* if count <= 0 return NULL
* if count == 1 put null string in string
* returns NULL if error or end-of-file found immediately

另： fgetc 和 getchar 是一个一个字符的读取，
