The fgets function terminates the line with a null character
    (\0). Unlike gets, fgets places the new-line character that
    terminates the input line into the user buffer if more than
    maxchar characters have not already been fetched.

    When the file pointed to by file_ptr is opened in record
    mode, fgets treats the end of a record the same as a new-line
    character, so it reads up to and including a new-line character
    or to the end of the record.
