getline, getdelim - delimited string input
Návod, kniha: Linux Programmer's Manual
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <stdio.h>
ssize_t getline(char **lineptr, size_t *n, FILE *stream);
ssize_t getdelim(char **lineptr, size_t *n, int delim, FILE *stream);
getline() reads an entire line, storing the address of the buffer
containing the text into
*lineptr. The buffer is null-terminated and
includes the newline character, if a newline delimiter was found.
If
*lineptr is
NULL, the
getline() routine will allocate a
buffer for containing the line, which must be freed by the user program.
Alternatively, before calling
getline(),
*lineptr can contain a
pointer to a
malloc()-allocated buffer
*n bytes in size. If the
buffer is not large enough to hold the line read in,
getline() resizes
the buffer to fit with
realloc(), updating
*lineptr and
*n as necessary. In either case, on a successful call,
*lineptr
and
*n will be updated to reflect the buffer address and size
respectively.
getdelim() works like
getline(), except a line delimiter other
than newline can be specified as the
delimiter argument. As with
getline(), a delimiter character is not added if one was not present in
the input before end of file was reached.
On success,
getline() and
getdelim() return the number of
characters read, including the delimiter character, but not including the
terminating null character. This value can be used to handle embedded null
characters in the line read.
Both functions return -1 on failure to read a line (including end of file
condition).
- EINVAL
- Bad parameters (n or lineptr is NULL, or
stream is not valid).
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(void)
{
FILE * fp;
char * line = NULL;
size_t len = 0;
ssize_t read;
fp = fopen("/etc/motd", "r");
if (fp == NULL)
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
while ((read = getline(&line, &len, fp)) != -1) {
printf("Retrieved line of length %zu :\n", read);
printf("%s", line);
}
if (line)
free(line);
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
Both getline() and getdelim() are GNU extensions. They are available since libc
4.6.27.
