Wouldn't count on that, particularly not when reading from an interactive device. You are more likely to get a line per call. What's bothering me about your code is that it assumes there are exactly STDIN_BLOCK bytes available in the buffer when you call fread, and the code does nothing that guarantees that. Personally I'd have used "size - offset" as the fread length parameter and not had to worry. regards, tom lane
