puts(3S)            (C Programming Language Utilities)             puts(3S)


   NAME
         puts, fputs - put a string on a stream

   SYNOPSIS
         #include <stdio.h>

         int puts (const char *s);

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

   DESCRIPTION
         puts writes the string pointed to by s, followed by a new-line
         character, to the standard output stream stdout [see intro(3)].

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

         Neither function writes the terminating null character.

   SEE ALSO
         exit(2), lseek(2), write(2), abort(3C), fclose(3S), ferror(3S),
         fopen(3S), fread(3S), printf(3S), putc(3S), stdio(3S).

   DIAGNOSTICS
         On success both routines return the number of characters written;
         otherwise they return EOF.

   NOTES
         puts appends a new-line character while fputs does not.
