+<tag/Description/The function inputs a string of at most <tt/size - 1/
+characters from the console into <tt/buffer/. It returns when <tt/size - 1/
+characters or either <tt/CR/ or <tt/LF/ are entered. It also handles both
+multi-line input and backspacing.
+<tag/Notes/<itemize>
+<item>The function echoes <tt/CRLF/ when either <tt/CR/ or <tt/LF/ are read
+but does NOT append either in <tt/buffer/.
+<item>The function is only available as fastcall function, so it may only
+be used in the presence of a prototype.
