puts() -- STDIO Function (libc)

Write string onto standard output
#include <stdio.h>
int puts(string)
char *string

puts() appends a newline character  onto the string to which string points,
and  writes the  result onto  the standard  output.  If  all goes  well, it
returns a  nonnegative value (not  necessarily -1); if an  error occurs, it
returns EOF.

Example

The following uses puts() to write a string on the screen.

#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
    puts("This is a string.");
}

Notes

For  historical  reasons, fputs()  outputs  the  string unchanged,  whereas
puts() appends a newline character.
