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. Obsolescent Interfaces 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)).
WARNINGS
