 * \param fd file descriptor structure

/*!
 * \brief Gets a line of text from a file of any pedigree
 *
 * This routine supports
 * text files created on various platforms (UNIX, MacOS9, DOS),
 * i.e. <code>\\n (\\012)</code>, <code>\\r (\\015)</code>, and
 * <code>\\r\\n (\\015\\012)</code> style newlines.
 *
 * Reads in at most <i>n-1</i> characters from stream (the last spot
 * is reserved for the end-of-string NUL) and stores them into the
 * buffer pointed to by <i>buf</i>. Reading stops after an EOF or a
 * newline. New line is not stored in the buffer. At least <i>n</i>
 * bytes must be allocated for the string buffer.
 *
 * \param buf: string buffer to receive read data, at least <i>n</i>
 *             bytes must be allocated
 * \param n: maximum number of bytes to read
 * \param fd: file descriptor structure
 *
 * \return 1 on success
 * \return 0 EOF
