Description

You can request that the player enter a line of text. See Line Input Events.

This text will be placed in a buffer of your choice. There is no length field or null terminator in the buffer. (The length of the text is returned as part of the line-input event.)

If you use the basic text API, the buffer will contain only printable Latin-1 characters (32 to 126, 160 to 255).

A particular implementation of Glk may not be able to accept all Latin-1 printable characters as input. It is guaranteed to be able to accept the ASCII characters (32 to 126.)

You can test for this by using the gestalt_LineInput selector.
