puts(S)

puts, fputs -- put a string on a stream

Syntax

cc . . . -lc

#include <stdio.h>


int puts (const char *s);

int fputs (const char *s, FILE *stream);

Description

puts- writes null-terminated string to standard output stream

fputs- writes nul-terminated string to named output stream

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.

Diagnostics

Both routines return EOF on error, which occurs if the routines try to write to a file that has not been opened for writing.

Notes

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