      NAME
           puts, fputs - put a string on a stream

      SYNTAX
           #include <stdio.h>

           int puts (s)
           char *s;

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

      DESCRIPTION
           Puts writes the null-terminated string pointed to by s,
           followed by a new-line character, to the standard output
           stream stdout.

           Fputs writes the null-terminated string pointed to by s to
           the named output stream.

           Neither function writes the terminating null character.

      DIAGNOSTICS
           Both routines return EOF on error. This will happen if the
           routines try to write on a file that has not been opened for
           writing.

      SEE ALSO
           ferror(3S), fopen(3S), fread(3S), printf(3S), putc(3S).

      NOTES
           Puts appends a new-line character while fputs does not.
