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
The puts() function writes the string pointed to by s, followed by a NEWLINE character, to the standard output stream stdout (see intro(3)).
The fputs() function writes the null-terminated string pointed to by s to the named output stream.
Neither function writes the terminating null character.
RETURN VALUES
On success both routines return the number of characters written; otherwise they return EOF.
ERRORS
The puts() and fputs() functions will fail if either the stream is unbuffered or the stream’s buffer needed to be flushed and:
EFBIG
The file is a regular file and an attempt was made to write at or beyond the offset maximum.
