NAME
     fputs, puts -- output a line to a stream

LIBRARY
     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
     ##include <>

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

     int
     puts(const char *str);

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

     The function puts() writes the string str, and a terminating newline
     character, to the stream stdout.

RETURN VALUES
     The fputs() function returns 0 on success and EOF on error; puts()
     returns a nonnegative integer on success and EOF on error.

ERORS
     [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).

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 NUL.
