I'm new to C (and English), so don't kill me yet...

I've made a simple function that gets a string from the user and returns a char* array with said input. I would like to know how to better utilize the C tools to adapt this piece of code to the C standards.

char *getstr()

{

    unsigned char buffer[128];

    char counter = -1;



    for(;;)

    {

        unsigned char c;



        buffer[++counter] = (c = (unsigned char)getchar()) == 'n' ? '' : c;



        if(buffer[counter] == (unsigned char)'' || counter == 127)

        {

            buffer[++counter] = (unsigned char)'';

            break;

        }

    }



    unsigned char str[counter];

    return strncpy(str, buffer, counter + 1);

}
