NAME

       puts(), fputs() - put a string on a stream

SYNOPSIS

   Obsolescent Interfaces
DESCRIPTION

       writes the null-terminated string pointed to by s, followed by a new-line character, to the standard output stream

       writes the null-terminated string pointed to by s to the named output stream, but does append a new-line character.

       Neither function writes the terminating null character.

   Notes
       and append a new-line character; and do not.

       and put a string on a stream.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon  successful  completion,  these  routines  return  a  non-negative number.	Otherwise they return EOF, set the error indicator for the
       stream, and set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

       These routines fail if, either the stream is unbuffered or stream's buffer needed to be flushed causing an underlying call to  be  invoked,
       and:

	      The	     flag is set for the file descriptor underlying stream and the process would be delayed in the write operation.

	      The file descriptor underlying
			     stream is not a valid file descriptor open for writing.

	      An attempt was made to write to a file
			     that exceeds the process's file size limit or the maximum file size (see ulimit(2)).

	      A signal was caught during the
			     system call.

	      [EIO]	     The  process  is  in  a  background process group and is attempting to write to its controlling terminal, is set, the
			     process is neither ignoring nor blocking the signal, and the process group of the process is orphaned.

	      There was no free space remaining on the device containing the file.

	      An attempt is made to write to a pipe or
			     FIFO that is not open for reading by any process.	A signal is also sent to the process.

       Additional values may be set by the underlying function (see write(2)).
