Your approach using the getsYour approach using the getstat call is correct.

Fgets() is the wrong way to read in one character at a time. You could either
use:

   a) read() - low level, raw I/O

   b) getc(fp) - high level.

When using buffered (high level) I/O, and you want character granularity, you
may want to unbuffer standard input like this:

   setbuf(stdin, NULL);
