* fgetst takes a file descriptor, a character pointer, and a count.
* It reads from the file it has either read "count" characters, or
* until it reads a null byte. When finished, what has been read exists
* in "s". If "count" characters were actually read, the last is changed
* to a null, so the returned string is always null-terminated. fgetst
* returns the number of characters read, including the null terminator.
