gets doesn't test the size of the input buffer. The buffer must be long
enough to hold all input characters.

According to the standard getline is in <string>. However, this is a C++
only function that reads the string class object from objective streams.
I don't know if there is any getline for char * in the GNU C library -
if so, it might be anywhere.
