The trick here is to replace the above line with:<br>
<br>
print(String(validatingUTF8: buf))<br>
<br>
`fgets` sets up `buf` to hold a C string, so you have to convert it to a Swift string. How do you do this depends on the encoding of the bytes. If you expect the C string to be UTF-8, then `String(validatingUTF8:)` is the way to go.<br>
<br>
IMPORTANT: This conversion can fail, which is why the above will print a bunch of optional strings, and you will have to decide what to your program should do when it does.<br>

btw This question came up recently. See the thread for other suggestions about how to handle it.<br>
