enum {OK = 0, NOMEM};

Are those the only two failure conditions? What about end of file?
Or a stream error? Why not make it possible to report those?

You didn't read the whole routine. It also returns EOF, which is
not defined here. I did point out that this listing omitted the
documentation etc.

Your point is well-taken, although it does seem that you fail to
distinguish between genuine end-of-file and a stream error.

So does fgets(). That's what feof() and ferror() are for.
