I hoped that after you would read the manual you will know.
But it obviously didn't work out.
So, I'd tell a little more: 
1. It does not read one line of arbitrary length
2. There is more than one mistake
3. All mistakes seems to be caused by deep misconceptions about fgets()
and realloc().

May be not Web in general, but this particular site is more pleasant to
read than typical *nix man.
Besides, I don't know how it looks on your man page, but if it is
similar to one in link below then apart from relevant info it contains
few blah-blah paragraphs.
