FPUTS(3)		 BSD Library Functions Manual		      FPUTS(3)

NAME
     fputs, puts — output a line to a stream

LIBRARY
     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <stdio.h>

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

     int
     puts(const char *s);

DESCRIPTION
     The function fputs() writes the string pointed to by s to the stream
     pointed to by stream.

     The function puts() writes the string s, and a terminating newline char‐
     acter, to the stream stdout.

RETURN VALUES
     The functions fputs() and puts() return a nonnegative integer on success
     and EOF on error.

ERRORS
     [EBADF]		The stream argument is not a writable stream.

     The functions fputs() and puts() may also fail and set errno for any of
     the errors specified for the routines write(2).

COMPATIBILITY
     fputs() now returns a non-negative number (as opposed to 0) on successful
     completion.  As a result, many tests (e.g., "fputs() == 0", "fputs() !=
     0") do not give the desired result.  Use "fputs() != EOF" or "fputs() ==
     EOF" to determine success or failure.

SEE ALSO
     ferror(3), fputws(3), putc(3), stdio(3)

STANDARDS
     The functions fputs() and puts() conform to ISO/IEC 9899:1990
     (“ISO C90”).  While not mentioned in the standard, both fputs() and
     puts() print ‘(null)’ if str is NULL.
