   gets    ( 3 )

Имя (Name)

gets - get a string from standard input (DEPRECATED)

---

Синопсис (Synopsis)

#include <stdio.h>

       char *gets(char *s);

---

Описание (Description)

Never use this function.

       gets() reads a line from stdin into the buffer pointed to by s
       until either a terminating newline or EOF, which it replaces with
       a null byte ('\0').  No check for buffer overrun is performed
       (see BUGS below).

---

Возвращаемое значение (Return value)

gets() returns s on success, and NULL on error or when end of
       file occurs while no characters have been read.  However, given
       the lack of buffer overrun checking, there can be no guarantees
       that the function will even return.

Стандарты (Conforming to)

C89, C99, POSIX.1-2001.

       LSB deprecates gets().  POSIX.1-2008 marks gets() obsolescent.
       ISO C11 removes the specification of gets() from the C language,
       and since version 2.16, glibc header files don't expose the
       function declaration if the _ISOC11_SOURCE feature test macro is
       defined.

---

Ошибки (баги) (Bugs)

Never use gets().  Because it is impossible to tell without
       knowing the data in advance how many characters gets() will read,
       and because gets() will continue to store characters past the end
       of the buffer, it is extremely dangerous to use.  It has been
       used to break computer security.  Use fgets() instead.

       Dangerous Function") at
