.TH buffer_getline 3 .SH NAME buffer_getline \- read line from buffer .SH SYNTAX .B #include int \fBbuffer_getline\fP(buffer* \fIb\fR,char* \fIx\fR,unsigned int \fIlen\fR); .SH DESCRIPTION buffer_getline copies data from \fIb\fR to \fIx\fR[0], \fIx\fR[1], ..., \fIx\fR[\fIlen\fR-1] until \fIlen\fR bytes have been copied or a new-line character ('\\n') is encountered. That character is also copied. buffer_getline returns the number of bytes read (excluding the '\\n') or -1 on error (setting \fIerrno\fR appropriately). Note that line is not 0-terminated to make reading lines with 0-bytes possible through this interface. .SH "SEE ALSO" buffer_init(3), buffer_feed(3), buffer_peek(3), buffer_seek(3), buffer(3)
