puts(3S)                                                 puts(3S)



     NAME
          puts, fputs - put a string on a stream

     SYNOPSIS
          #include <stdio.h>

          int puts(s)
          char *s;

          int fputs(s, stream)
          char *s;
          FILE *stream;

     DESCRIPTION
          puts writes the null-terminated string referenced by s, fol-
          lowed by a newline character, to the standard output stream
          stdout.

          fputs writes the null-terminated string pointed to by s to
          the named output stream.

          Neither function writes the terminating null character.

     SEE ALSO
          ferror(3S), fopen(3S), fread(3S), printf(3S), putc(3S).

     RETURN VALUE
          On success, both routines return the number of characters
          written.

          Both functions return EOF on error.  This occurs if the rou-
          tines try to write on a file that has not been opened for
          writing.

     NOTES
          puts appends a newline character while fputs does not.
