.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
function reads a line from a file, and returns it
|
|
in a NUL-terminated buffer allocated with
|
|
.Xr malloc 3 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
function performs a certain amount of processing
|
|
on the data it reads.
|
|
Comments (introduced by a hash sign) are stripped, as is leading and
|
|
trailing whitespace.
|
|
Any amount of linear whitespace is collapsed to a single space.
|
|
Blank lines are ignored.
|
|
If a line ends in a backslash, the backslash is stripped and the next
|
|
line is appended.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa lineno
|
|
is not
|
|
.Dv NULL ,
|
|
the integer variable it points to is
|
|
incremented every time a newline character is read.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa lenp
|
|
is not
|
|
.Dv NULL ,
|
|
the length of the line (not including the
|
|
terminating NUL character) is stored in the variable it points to.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The caller is responsible for releasing the returned buffer by passing
|
|
it to
|
|
.Xr free 3 .
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
function returns
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
on failure.
