/**
* Read a line from a FILE *, overwriting the existing contents of
* the strbuf. The strbuf_getline*() family of functions share
Many of our commands support reading input that is separated either via newlines or via NUL characters. Furthermore, in order to be a better cross platform citizen, these commands typically know to strip the CRLF sequence so that we also support reading newline-separated inputs on e.g. the Windows platform. This results in the following kind of awkward pattern: ``` struct strbuf input = STRBUF_INIT; while (1) { int ret; if (nul_terminated) ret = strbuf_getline_nul(&input, stdin); else ret = strbuf_getline(&input, stdin); if (ret) break; ... } ``` Introduce a new CRLF-aware helper function that can read up to a user specified delimiter. If the delimiter is `\n` the function knows to also strip CRLF, otherwise it will only strip the specified delimiter. This results in the following, much more readable code pattern: ``` struct strbuf input = STRBUF_INIT; while (strbuf_getdelim_strip_crlf(&input, stdin, delim) != EOF) { ... } ``` The new function will be used in a subsequent commit.
