     PUTS(S)                   UNIX System V                   PUTS(S)



     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 function 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(S), fopen(S), fread(S), printf(S), putc(S), stdio(S)

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