     The _g_e_t_s function reads characters from the input stream
     pointed to by _s_t_d_i_n, into the array pointed to by _s, until
     end-of-file is encountered or a new-line character is read.
     Any newline character is discarded, and a null character is
     written immediately after the last character read into the
     array.

     The _g_e_t_s function returns _s if successful.  If end-of-file
     is encountered and no characters have been read into the
     array, the contents of the array remain unchanged and a null
     pointer is returned.  If a read error occurrs during the
     operation, the array contents are indeterminate and a null
     pointer is returned.
