NAME

       puts, fputs - put a string on a stream

SYNOPSIS

       #include <stdio.h>

       puts(s)
       char *s;

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

DESCRIPTION

       Puts copies the null-terminated string s to the standard output stream stdout and appends a newline character.

       Fputs copies the null-terminated string s to the named output stream.

       Neither routine copies the terminal null character.

SEE ALSO

       fopen(3S), gets(3S), putc(3S), printf(3S), ferror(3S)
       fread(3S) for fwrite

BUGS

       Puts appends a newline, fputs does not, all in the name of backward compatibility.

NAME

       fputc, fputs, putc, putchar, puts - output of characters and strings

SYNOPSIS

       #include <stdio.h>

       int fputc(int c, FILE *stream);
       int fputs(const char *s, FILE *stream);
       int putc(int c, FILE *stream);
       int putchar(int c);
       int puts(const char *s);

DESCRIPTION

       fputc() writes the character c, cast to an unsigned char, to stream.

       fputs() writes the string s to stream, without its trailing ''.

       putc() is equivalent to fputc() except that it may be implemented as a macro which evaluates stream more than once.

       putchar(c); is equivalent to putc(c,stdout).

       puts() writes the string s and a trailing newline to stdout.

       Calls  to the functions described here can be mixed with each other and with calls to other output functions from the stdio library for the
       same output stream.

       For non-locking counterparts, see unlocked_stdio(3).

RETURN VALUE

       fputc(), putc() and putchar() return the character written as an unsigned char cast to an int or EOF on error.

       puts() and fputs() return a non-negative number on success, or EOF on error.

CONFORMING TO

       ANSI - C, POSIX.1

BUGS

       It is not advisable to mix calls to output functions from the stdio library with low - level calls to write() for the file descriptor asso-
       ciated with the same output stream; the results will be undefined and very probably not what you want.
