     PUTCHAR(K)                UNIX System V                PUTCHAR(K)



     Name
          putchar - prints a character on the console

     Syntax
          int
          putchar(c)
          char c;

     Description
          The putchar routine is used by the printf(K) and panic(K)
          routines.  This routine puts one character on the console,
          doing a ``busy wait'' rather than depending on interrupts.
          This means that all other system activities are suspended
          while putchar is executing.

     Parameters
          c is the character that is printed on the console.
