+ * This is a reimplementation of the GNU getline function, so that our code don't depends on the GNU libc.
+ *
+ * xbt_getline() reads an entire line from stream, storing the address of the
+ * buffer containing the text into *buf. The buffer is null-terminated and
+ * includes the newline character, if one was found.
+ *
+ * If *buf is NULL, then xbt_getline() will allocate a buffer for storing the
+ * line, which should be freed by the user program.
+ *
+ * Alternatively, before calling xbt_getline(), *buf can contain a pointer to a
+ * malloc()-allocated buffer *n bytes in size. If the buffer is not large
+ * enough to hold the line, xbt_getline() resizes it with realloc(), updating
+ * *buf and *n as necessary.
+ *
+ * In either case, on a successful call, *buf and *n will be updated to reflect
+ * the buffer address and allocated size respectively.
