getline()

getline()

[Progga]

 Is there any 'C' lib which contains the getline() function ? I have found
a code similar to this:

 -------

 char *temp ;
 int n = 0 ;
 FILE *file_handle = NULL ;

 // [snipped]

 getline(&temp, &n, file_handle);                                        


 --------

 But there's no prototype declaration and 'greping' through the '*/includes/'
havn't produced anything relevant either.

Aren't you searching for fgets() ?

char line[1024];

while((fgets(line, 1024, stdin)) != NULL)
 printf("%s", line);

getline() is in libc. The prototype is in stdio.h, but you may need to
use -D_GNU_SOURCE to enable it.

...and then you won't be able to use it with the dietlibc anymore...

no good idea ihmo.

Why?  If you use getline(), you should be providing your own version for
systems that don't have it.  If they have it, great, use the system
version, if they don't, use yours.

Getline is part of the GNU readline package, and is included in GNU libc, the
standard libc used on GNU/Linux systems (as a GNU extension -- #define
_GNU_SOURCE). Readline is include I believe in FreeBSD's libc, and available as
a package for NetBSD. See: <http://cnswww.cns.cwru.edu/php/chet/readline/rltop.html>
