C library function that reads up to a newline

[faif]

read(2) reads up to N bytes but doesn't stop on newlines. Brdline(2)
looks like a good candidate for that. Are there any functions
outside Bio that behave similarly?

Dont' think so, as you need a buffer to keep the line.

if you're application is one where the producer is producing
a line at a time, then read(2) will read a line at a time; plan 9
doesn't coalesce writes. (raw tcp connections notwithstanding.)
