        }
        printf("\n");

        for(i=0;i<len;++i) {
                printf("%c", buf[i] ^ 42);

        return 0;
}

I realized that this doesn't really work, as fgetc() uses an internal buffer for ungetc()

and read() can't use registers directly. (uses pointer to store buffer, which can't be a register)
