[Solved] Simple program compile error with C, ‘Too few arguments’ for ‘fgets’

by


fgets() takes 3 arguments. This is the prototype:

   char *fgets(char *s, int size, FILE *stream);

So change 

fgets(buffer);

to

fgets(buffer, sizeof buffer, stdin);

Also, note that fgets() will read the newline character if the buffer has enough space. If this is something you don’t want, then you can strip it with:

buffer[strcspn(buffer, "\n")] = 0;

As suggested by @Sebastian, you can also use #define the size:

#define SIZE 256

int main(void)
{

    ...
    fgets(buffer, SIZE, stdin);
}
