.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm getdelim ,
|
|
.Nm getline
|
|
.Nd read a delimited record from a stream
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|
|
.Lb libc
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In stdio.h
|
|
.Ft ssize_t
|
|
.Fn getdelim "char ** restrict lineptr" "size_t * restrict n" "int delimiter" "FILE * restrict stream"
|
|
.Ft ssize_t
|
|
.Fn getline "char ** restrict lineptr" "size_t * restrict n" "FILE * restrict stream"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getdelim
|
|
function reads from the
|
|
.Fa stream
|
|
until it encounters a character matching
|
|
.Fa delimiter ,
|
|
storing the input in
|
|
.Fa *lineptr .
|
|
The buffer is
|
|
.Dv NUL Ns No -terminated
|
|
and includes the delimiter.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa delimiter
|
|
character must be representable as an unsigned char.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa *n
|
|
is non-zero, then
|
|
.Fa *lineptr
|
|
must be pre-allocated to at least
|
|
.Fa *n
|
|
bytes.
|
|
The buffer should be allocated dynamically;
|
|
it must be possible to
|
|
.Xr free 3
|
|
.Fa *lineptr .
|
|
.Fn getdelim
|
|
ensures that
|
|
.Fa *lineptr
|
|
is large enough to hold the input, updating
|
|
.Fa *n
|
|
to reflect the new size.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getline
|
|
function is equivalent to
|
|
.Fn getdelim
|
|
with
|
|
.Fa delimiter
|
|
set to the newline character.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getdelim
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn getline
|
|
functions return the number of characters read, including the delimiter.
|
|
If no characters were read and the stream is at end-of-file, the functions
|
|
return \-1.
|
|
If an error occurs, the functions return \-1 and the global variable
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
is set to indicate the error.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The 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 EXAMPLES
|
|
The following code fragment reads lines from a file and writes them to
|
|
standard output.
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
char *line = NULL;
|
|
size_t linesize = 0;
|
|
ssize_t linelen;
|
|
|
|
while ((linelen = getline(\*[Am]line, \*[Am]linesize, fp)) != -1)
|
|
fwrite(line, linelen, 1, stdout);
|
|
|
|
if (ferror(fp))
|
|
perror("getline");
