NAME

fputs — put a string on a stream

SYNOPSIS

#include <stdio.h>

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

DESCRIPTION

The fputs() function writes the null-terminated string pointed to by s to the stream pointed to by stream . The terminating null byte is not written.

The st_ctime and st_mtime fields of the file will be marked for update between the successful execution of fputs() and the next successful completion of a call to fflush() or fclose() on the same stream or a call to exit() or abort().

RETURN VALUE

Upon successful completion, fputs() returns a non-negative number. Otherwise it returns EOF, sets an error indicator for the stream and errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

Refer to fputc(3) .

EXAMPLES

None.

APPLICATION USAGE

The puts(3) function appends a newline character while fputs() does not.
