NAME

    File::fgets - Read either one line or X characters from a file

SYNOPSIS

      use File::fgets;

      open my $fh, $file;

      # Read either one line or the first 10 characters, which ever comes first

      my $line = fgets($fh, 10);

DESCRIPTION

    An implementation of the C fgets() function.

    fgets

        my $string = fgets($fh, $limit);

    Reads either one line or at most $limit bytes from the $fh.

    Returns undef at end of file.

    NOTE: unlike C's fgets, this will read $limit characters not $limit - 1.

    Perl doesn't have to leave room for a null byte.

EXAMPLE

    The following example demonstrates using fgets() to read in at most 5

    characters at a time.

      use File::fgets;

      open my $write_fh, ">", $file;

      print $write_fh <.
