    Question Bufsiz

    Using fgets, could I use the macro BUFSIZ if I wanted to read a line sequential file in one, or would I have to read the file in parts?

    If you want to read an entire file, or just a huge chunk (or any specificly sized chunk), use "fread() ". If you want to read a line, upto N bytes in length, use "fgets() ".

    Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
