Talking about scanf (was Re: What's so bad about scanf anyway???)

[Avery Colter]

Oh yes...

Another thing in scanf's favor over gets...

While reading the new and improved 10 commandments, I was reminded of
gets' nasty habit of taking any size line given to it.

But I suppose fgets takes care of that... you just have to whack off
the endline character somehow.
