fgets() is safe. The difference with gets() is that the latter doesn't take the
buffer size as a parameter, so it can overflow your buffer. Other minor
difference s are that gets() removes end of line characters from the string,
while fgets() leaves them there, and also that gets() can only read from stdin.
