28 /* Same as fgets() but if the provided buffer is too short a larger
29 one will be allocated. This is similar to getline. A line is
30 considered a byte stream ending in a LF.
32 If MAX_LENGTH is not NULL, it shall point to a value with the
33 maximum allowed allocation.
35 Returns the length of the line. EOF is indicated by a line of
36 length zero. A truncated line is indicated by setting the value at
37 MAX_LENGTH to 0. If the returned value is less then 0 not enough
38 memory was enable and ERRNO is set accordingly.
40 If a line has been truncated, the file pointer is moved forward to
41 the end of the line so that the next read starts with the next
42 line. Note that MAX_LENGTH must be re-initialzied in this case.
44 Note: The returned buffer is allocated with enough extra space to
45 append a CR,LF,Nul
