NAME
     puts, fputs - put a string on a stream

SYNOPSIS
     #include 

     int puts(const char *s);


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


DESCRIPTION
     The puts() function writes the string pointed to by s,  fol-
     lowed  by a NEWLINE character, to the standard output stream
     stdout (see Intro(3)). The  terminating  null  byte  is  not
     written.


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


     The stctime and stmtime 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(3C)  or
     fclose(3C)  on  the  same  stream  or  a  call to exit(2) or
     abort(3C).

RETURN VALUES
     On successful completion, both functions return  the  number
     of bytes written; otherwise they return EOF and set errno to
     indicate the error.

ERORS
     Refer to fputc(3C).

USAGE
     Unlike puts(), the fputs() function does not write a NEWLINE
     character at the end of the string.
