No. First, fgets() will not receive anything close to 10000 chars in the
decribed scenario. Second, fgets() really expects the size of the buffer, not
the number of chars without \0 that can be stored there. fgets reads at most one
less character than the number given. Unless fgets has a bug ...
I would use
fgets(command, sizeof command, stdin);
in this situation, however. But it should of course not make a difference.
