Re: Efficient File Reading

[MCENANEY WILLIAM J]

Hi Friend,

In his book "Advanced Programming in a Unix Envuronment," Richard Stevens
writes that fgets() runs faster than fgetc().  That's for two reasons, I
think.  First, fgets() reads a line when you call it.  Second, since it
does re a line when you call it, it requires fewer system calls than
fgetc() would require.  I'm pretty sure about this, but it's probably a
good idea to check with our friends.  They know more than I do.

Good luck,
Bill
