// No use to do fgetc() in pre-loop part, since then only one
// character will be read, followed by a wild loop.
// Also, need *buf++ for post-assign.
for (char ch; (ch =3D fgetc(fp)) !=3D EOF; *buf++ =3D ch);

// Have to zero-terminate since calloc() wasn't used.
*buf =3D '\0'';

// One alternative that is a bit quicker:
size_t count =3D fread(buf,1,i-1,fp);
if (count =3D=3D i)
    buf[count] =3D '\0';
else
    buf[0] =3D '\0';
