Get a string from a stream.<br />
<br />
char *fgets( <br />
   char *string,<br />
   int n,<br />
   FILE *stream <br />
);<br />
wchar_t *fgetws( <br />
   wchar_t *string,<br />
   int n,<br />
   FILE *stream <br />
);<br />
Parameters<br />
string <br />
Storage location for data. <br />
n <br />
Maximum number of characters to read. <br />
stream <br />
Pointer to FILE structure. <br />
Return Value<br />
Each of these functions returns string. NULL is returned to indicate an error or an end-of-file condition. Use feof or ferror to determine whether an error occurred.<br />

<br />
Open a file.<br />
<br />
FILE *fopen( <br />
   const char *filename,<br />
   const char *mode <br />
);<br />
FILE *_wfopen( <br />
   const wchar_t *filename,<br />
   const wchar_t *mode <br />
);<br />
Parameters<br />
filename <br />
Filename. <br />
mode <br />
Type of access permitted. <br />
Return Value<br />
Each of these functions returns a pointer to the open file. A null pointer value indicates an error. <br />
