linux c getline函数,基于getline()函数的深入理解

我在网上搜了半天getline()函数，大多针对C++的，重载函数比较多，云里雾里的，而且没有实例，反正就是没有自己所需要的getline()函数。所以，自己在Linux下man了一把，并做了测试。getline()函数的功能是从文件中获取行信息，即每次读取一行信息。

因为我使用getline()函数的目的是获取本地网卡信息，即eth0的信息，从而判断启动机子时是否查了网线(本来可以从驱动里做，但应用层可以搞定，就不想多做处理了，谅解)。

DESCRIPTION

getline()  reads  an entire line from stream, storing the address of the buffer containing the text into *lineptr.  The buffer is null-

terminated and includes the newline character, if one was found.

If *lineptr is NULL, then getline() will allocate a buffer for storing the line, which should be freed by the user  program.   Alterna-

tively,  before calling getline(), *lineptr can contain a pointer to a malloc()-allocated buffer *n bytes in size. If the buffer is not

large enough to hold the line, getline() resizes it with realloc(), updating *lineptr and *n as necessary. In either case,  on  a  suc-

cessful call, *lineptr and *n will be updated to reflect the buffer address and allocated size respectively.

getdelim()  works  like  getline(), except a line delimiter other than newline can be specified as the delimiter argument. As with get-

line(), a delimiter character is not added if one was not present in the input before end of file was reached.

RETURN VALUE

On success, getline() and getdelim() return the number of characters read, including the delimiter character,  but  not  including  the

terminating null byte. This value can be used to handle embedded null bytes in the line read.

Both functions return -1  on failure to read a line (including end of file condition).

ERRORS

EINVAL Bad parameters (n or lineptr is NULL, or stream is not valid).

EXAMPLE

#define _GNU_SOURCE

#include

#include

int main(void)

{

FILE * fp;

char * line = NULL;

size_t len = 0;

ssize_t read;

fp = fopen("/etc/motd", "r");

if (fp == NULL)

exit(EXIT_FAILURE);

while ((read = getline(&line, &len, fp)) != -1) {

printf("Retrieved line of length %zu :\n", read);

printf("%s", line);

}

if (line)

free(line);

return EXIT_SUCCESS;

}

CONFORMING TO

Both getline() and getdelim() are GNU extensions.  They are available since libc 4.6.27.
