The trick here is to replace the above line with:
print(String(validatingUTF8: buf))
`fgets` sets up `buf` to hold a C string, so you have to convert it to a Swift
string. How do you do this depends on the encoding of the bytes. If you
expect the C string to be UTF-8, then `String(validatingUTF8:)` is the way to
go.
IMPORTANT: This conversion can fail, which is why the above will print a bunch
of optional strings, and you will have to decide what to your program should do
when it does.

btw This question came up recently. See the thread for other suggestions about
how to handle it.
