   int n; 
   is missing from the fgets syntax part. 

An argument that is not declared explicitly in a man page is assumed
to be an int, just as it is assumed to be an int if not declared
explicitly in a C program.  This assumption can be seen throughout the
man page set; it is not unusual.  This is not a bug.
