/* fggets and ggets [which is fggets(ln, stdin)] set *ln to
a buffer filled with the next complete line from the text
stream f. The storage has been allocated within fggets,
and is normally reduced to be an exact fit. The trailing
\n has been removed, so the resultant line is ready for
dumping with puts. The buffer will be as large as is
required to hold the complete line.
Note: this means a final file line without a \n terminator
has an effective \n appended, as EOF occurs within the read.
If no error occurs fggets returns 0. If an EOF occurs on
the input file, EOF is returned. For memory allocation
errors some positive value is returned. In this case *ln
may point to a partial line. For other errors memory is
freed and *ln is set to NULL.
Freeing of assigned storage is the callers responsibility
