PUTS(3S) (C Programming Language Utilities) 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 pointed to by s
,followed by a new-line 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.
SEE ALSO
ferror(3S), fopen(3S), fread(3S), printf(3S), putc(3S),
stdio(3S).
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.
NOTES
puts appends a new-line character while fputs does not.
