PUTS(3S) — STANDARD I/O FUNCTIONS

NAME

puts, fputs − put a string on a stream

#include <stdio.h>

puts(s)
char ∗s;

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

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 SM NULL character.

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.

puts() appends a NEWLINE while fputs() does not.
