puts(3S)               UNIX System V(C Development Set)                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.
