 * Name: gets
 *
 * Description:
 *   gets() reads a line from stdin into the buffer pointed
 *   to by s until either a terminating newline or EOF,
 *   which it replaces with '\0'.  No check for buffer
 *   overrun is performed
 *
 *   This API should not be used because it is inherently
 *   unsafe.  Consider using fgets which is safer and
 *   slightly more efficient.
