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,
     followed 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.

STATUS MESSAGES AND VALUES
     On success, both routines return the number of characters
     written.

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

NOTES
     The puts program appends a newline character while fputs
     does not.
