  NAME

    puts, fputs - Puts a string on a stream

  LIBRARY

    Standard C Library (libc.a)

  SYNOPSIS

    #include <stdio.h>

    int puts(
      char *string );

    int fputs(
      char *string ,
      FILE *stream );

  PARAMETERS

    string   A character string

    stream   A stream

  DESCRIPTION

    The puts() function writes the null-terminated string pointed to by
    string,followed by a newline character, to stdout.

    The fputs() writes the null-terminated string pointed to by string to the
    named output stream.

    Neither function writes the terminating null character.

  EXAMPLES

    1.  To display a string to stdout:

        char *string = "ERROR";
        puts(string);


    2.  To write a string to a file:

        FILE *outfile; /* You must make sure this file exists! */
        char *text = "A long string of stuff."
        fputs(text, outfile);

    The puts() function appends a newline character while fputs() does not.

  RETURN VALUES

    Both functions return EOF on error.  This will happen if the functions try
    to write to a file that has not been opened for writing.
