Bug#57729: libc6: fgets() doesn't work properly on socket

[Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>]

I've read the info page on fgets(), and found this:

     *Warning:*  If the input data has a null character, you can't tell.
     So don't use `fgets' unless you know the data cannot contain a
     null.  Don't use it to read files edited by the user because, if
     the user inserts a null character, you should either handle it
     properly or print a clear error message.  We recommend using
     `getline' instead of `fgets'.

I suspect this is causing your problem (null chars). If this satisfies
your problem, but you are still disatisfied with the man page, please
reassign this bug to the manpages-dev package (which is not maintained as
part of glibc).

Thanks,
  Ben
