Dear Maintainer,

`man fgets.3` shows the function signature to be

       char *fgets(int size;
                   char s[restrict size], int size, FILE *restrict stream);

Which seems to be wrong. For reference, `man fgets.3p`
(manpages-posix-dev) shows:

       char *fgets(char *restrict s, int n, FILE *restrict stream);

I believe `int size;` before `char s[restrict size]` is syntactically
and semantically wrong.

The same error also exists in `fgetc.3`, `getchar.3`, and `ungetc.3`.

Maybe something like this would be more apt?:

       char *fgets(char s[restrict size], int size, FILE *restrict stream);
