puts(3S)                       DG/UX 5.4R3.00                       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), reentrant(3), abort(3C), fclose(3S),
       ferror(3S), flockfile(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.  In addition, if the routines try to write
       to a file that has not been opened for writing, errno will be set to
       EBADF.

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