NAME

     fputc, fputs, putc, putchar, puts - output of characters and
     strings


SYNOPSIS

     #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(const char *s);
     int ungetc(int c, FILE *stream));


DESCRIPTION

     fputc() writes the character c, cast to an unsigned char, to
     stream.

     fputs() writes the string s to stream, without its  trailing
     '\0'.

     putc() is equivalent to fputc() except that it may be imple-
     mented 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 stdout.

     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.


RETURN VALUES

     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.


CONFORMING TO

     ANSI - C, POSIX.1


BUGS

     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.
