PUTS(3S)            UNIX Programmer's Manual             PUTS(3S)

NAME
     puts, fputs - put a string on a stream file

SYNOPSIS
     #include <stdio.h>

     int puts (s)
     char *s;

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

HP-UX COMPATIBILITY
     Level:    HP-UX/RUN ONLY

     Origin:   System V

DESCRIPTION
     _P_u_t_s copies the null-terminated string  _s  to  the  standard
     output stream _s_t_d_o_u_t and appends a new-line character.

     _F_p_u_t_s copies the null-terminated string _s to the named  out-
     put _s_t_r_e_a_m.

     Neither routine copies the terminating null character.  Note
     that  _p_u_t_s appends a new-line character, but _f_p_u_t_s does not.
     This is to complement the corresponding input routines, _g_e_t_s
     and  _f_g_e_t_s  (_g_e_t_s  drops the terminating new-line character,
     but _f_g_e_t_s keeps it).

SEE ALSO
     ferror(3S),  fopen(3S),  fread(3S),  gets(3S),   printf(3S),
     putc(3S).

DIAGNOSTICS
     Both routines return EOF on error.
