Copy and Paste is the most effective programming method :-)
So let's look at how streams do it:
istream &istream::getline(char *, int, char = '\n');
If you change your function to
void IniFile::readline(char *buf, int buflen)
the caller has to provide the string.
A  better  idea  might be not to use character arrays but the standard
string class:
string IniFile::readline()
