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 writes the null-terminated string pointed to by s, followed by a newline character, to the standard output stream stdout. 

fputs writes the null-terminated string pointed to by s to the named output stream.

Neither function writes the terminal null character. 

DIAGNOSTICS

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

SEE ALSO

fopen(3S), putc(3S), printf(3S), ferror(3S), fread(3S)

NOTES

puts appends a newline while fputs does not.
