<TITLE>fputs</TITLE> <body bgcolor="#ffffcc"> <hr> <pre> <h3>PUTS(3) Linux Programmer's Manual PUTS(3) </h3> <h3>NAME </h3> fputc, fputs, putc, putchar, puts - output of characters and strings <h3>SYNOPSIS </h3> #include <stdio.h> int fputc(int c, FILE *stream); int fputs(const char *s, FILE *stream); int putc(int c, FILE *stream); int putchar(int c); int puts(char *s); int ungetc(int c, FILE *stream); <h3>DESCRIPTION </h3> fputc() writes the character c, cast to an unsigned char, to stream. fputs() writes the string s to stream, without its trail- ing '\0'. putc() is equivalent to fputc() except that it may be implemented as a macro which evaluates stream more than once. putchar(c); is equivalent to putc(c,stdout). puts() writes the string s and a trailing newline to std- out. Calls to the functions described here can be mixed with each other and with calls to other output functions from the stdio library for the same output stream. <h3>RETURN VALUES </h3> fputc(), putc() and putchar() return the character written as an unsigned char cast to an int or EOF on error. puts() and fputs() return a non - negative number on suc- cess, or EOF on error. <h3>CONFORMS TO </h3> ANSI - C, POSIX.1 <h3>BUGS </h3> It is not advisable to mix calls to output functions from the stdio library with low - level calls to write() for the file descriptor associated with the same output stream; the results will be undefined and very probably not what you want. </pre> <hr> <h3>SEE ALSO </h3><p> <a href=write.htm>write</a>, <a href=fopen.htm>fopen</a>, <a href=fwrite.htm>fwrite</a>, <a href=scanf.htm>scanf</a>, <a href=gets.htm>gets</a>, <pre> <h3>GNU April 4, 1993 1 </h3> <h3>PUTS(3) Linux Programmer's Manual PUTS(3) </h3> fseek(3), ferror(3) <h3>GNU April 4, 1993 2 </h3> </pre> <P> <hr> <p> <center> <table border=2 width=80%> <tr align=center> <td width=25%> <a href=../cref.html>Top</a> </td><td width=25%> <a href=../master_index.html>Master Index</a> </td><td width=25%> <a href=../SYNTAX/keywords.html>Keywords</a> </td><td width=25%> <a href=../FUNCTIONS/funcref.htm>Functions</a> </td> </tr> </table> </center> <p> <hr> This manual page was brought to you by <i>mjl_man V-2.0</i>
