Sorry, that does not compile with Swift 3. First of all, the expression "(count:BUFSIZE, repeatedValue:CChar(0))" must be written as "(repeating:CChar(0), count:BUFSIZE)", Note that the order within the expression is significant (don't ask me why, it just is. Ask the language designers).

Second, print line causes the compiler to disgorge the following:
" error: 'fromCString' is unavailable: Please use String.init?(validatingUTF8:) instead. Note that it no longer accepts NULL as a valid input. Also consider using String(cString:), that will attempt to repair ill-formed code units.
    print(String.fromCString(buf)!, terminator:"")
                 ^~~~~~~~~~~
Swift.String:4:24: note: 'fromCString' has been explicitly marked unavailable here public static func fromCString(_ cs: UnsafePointer<CChar>) -> String?
"

I frankly don't know how to parse that compiler output, since it is NOT like Swift 2.2, and is apparently trying to explain that in some tortured form of syntax. I don't know how to map that response into working code.

Hi all,

I am trying to understand how Swift 3 File I/O works in a linux environment. I put together a trivial test program using what I
can glean from the few examples I can find.  See below.

===============================
import Glibc
import Foundation

let filename = Process.arguments[1]
let file_handle = fopen (filename, "r")
let BUFSIZE = 1024
var buf     = [CChar](repeating:CChar(0), count:BUFSIZE)
while fgets(&buf, Int32(BUFSIZE), file_handle) != nil
{
 print(buf)
}
exit(0)
===============================

The program runs, but produces a stream of integer arrays, each of 1024 bytes. I can see what appears to be ASCII character values in the sample text, plus a lot of trailing zeros. I suspect I haven't mapped the bytes in buf to Strings, so how should that be done?
