+===== gets =====
+<code c>
+    char *gets(char *str);
+</code>
+Copies characters from stdin into str until newline encountered, end-of-file reached, or error occurs. Does not copy newline. NUL-terminates s. Returns str, or NULL on end-of-file or error. Should not be used because of the potential for buffer overflow.
