NAME

puts, fputs − put a string on a stream

SYNTAX

#include <stdio.h>

int puts(s)
char *s;

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

DESCRIPTION

The puts subroutine copies the null-terminated string s to the standard output stream stdout and appends a newline character. 

The fputs subroutine copies the null-terminated string s to the named output stream. 

Neither routine copies the terminal null character. 

RESTRICTIONS

All in the name of backward compatibility, puts appends a newline, but fputs does not. 

DIAGNOSTICS

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