Generally, whatever size you declare your input buffer to be.fgets requires a buffer size. What is the maximum length of a single line of a text file (if there is such thing)?

You could read the line until you reach '\0' with a while loop
and just read the line through.Code:while(line[index] != '/0')
That's pretty much the same as using fgetc().
If you don't know the size in advance, the best way to do it is to use fgetc().
