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 terminating null byte is not written.

       The fputs() function writes the null-terminated string pointed to by s to the named output stream. The terminating null byte is	not  writ-
       ten.

       The  st_ctime and st_mtime fields of the file will be marked for update between the successful execution of fputs() and the next successful
       completion of a call to fflush(3C) or fclose(3C) on the same stream or a call to exit(2) or abort(3C).

RETURN VALUES

       On successful completion, both functions return the number of bytes written; otherwise they return EOF and set errno to indicate the error.

ERRORS

       Refer to fputc(3C).

USAGE

       Unlike puts(), the fputs() function does not write a NEWLINE character at the end of the string.
