What do you mean, "looks official"?

It has this resources page

impression it's the official resources page for comp.lang.c though maybe
that's just what comes across from the first paragraph.

I get no such impression.

GNU lib'c getline

I don't believe there's a standard library function called getline.

There isn't.
What is your native language?

C (gcc 4.1.3).

I think they meant your native /spoken/ language.

What in any of my posts suggests that my native spoken language isn't
English?? Why is it relevant?

Don't ask me; ask the person who asked the question. Probably they
thought that what you said suggested you hadn't understood them in
a way that suggests ESL.

Does anyone know what all these fields in the FILE * structure do?

Something implementation-dependant. Portable code can't care about it.

I believe you are mistaken - portable functions like fread etc. take a
FILE * structure for an argument.

`fread` isn't portable; it is specific to each implementation. That's
why it's there in the Standard; you can't portably write one yourself.
(Well, you can -- but it's useless.)
