N1570 7.21.7.2p1:
The fgets function reads at most one less than the number of
characters specified by n from the stream pointed to by stream
into the array pointed to by s. No additional characters are
read after a new-line character (which is retained) or after
end-of-file. A null character is written immediately after the
last character read into the array.
How is that unclear in the case you describe?
