+/* NAME
+/* readlline 3
+/* SUMMARY
+/* read logical line
+/* SYNOPSIS
+/* #include <readlline.h>
+/*
+/* VSTRING *readllines(buf, fp, lineno, first_line)
+/* VSTRING *buf;
+/* VSTREAM *fp;
+/* int *lineno;
+/* int *first_line;
+/*
+/* VSTRING *readlline(buf, fp, lineno)
+/* VSTRING *buf;
+/* VSTREAM *fp;
+/* int *lineno;
+/* DESCRIPTION
+/* readllines() reads one logical line from the named stream.
+/* .IP "blank lines and comments"
+/* Empty lines and whitespace-only lines are ignored, as
+/* are lines whose first non-whitespace character is a `#'.
+/* .IP "multi-line text"
+/* A logical line starts with non-whitespace text. A line that
+/* starts with whitespace continues a logical line.
+/* .PP
+/* The result value is the input buffer argument or a null pointer
+/* when no input is found.
+/*
+/* readlline() is a backwards-compatibility wrapper.
+/*
+/* Arguments:
+/* .IP buf
+/* A variable-length buffer for input. The result is null terminated.
+/* .IP fp
+/* Handle to an open stream.
+/* .IP lineno
+/* A null pointer, or a pointer to an integer that is incremented
+/* after reading a physical line.
+/* .IP first_line
+/* A null pointer, or a pointer to an integer that will contain
+/* the line number of the first non-blank, non-comment line
+/* in the result logical line.
+/* DIAGNOSTICS
+/* Warning: a continuation line that does not continue preceding text.
+/* The invalid input is ignored, to avoid complicating caller code.
+/* SECURITY
+/* .ad
+/* .fi
+/* readlline() imposes no logical line length limit therefore it
+/* should be used for reading trusted information only.
+/* LICENSE
+/* .ad
