fputc, _fputchar

Description

Write a character to a stream (fputc) or to stdout (_fputchar).

#include <stdio.h>

int fputc( intc,FILE *stream );

int _fputchar( int c );

Remarks

The fputc function writes the single character c to the output stream at the current position. The _fputchar function is equivalent to fputc(c, stdout).

The fputc and _fputchar routines are similar to putc and putchar, but are functions rather than macros.

Return Value

The fputc and _fputchar functions return the character written. A return value of EOF indicates an error.

Example

/* FPUTC.C: This program uses fputc and _fputchar to send a character

* array to stdout.

*/

#include <stdio.h>

void main( void )

{

char strptr1[] = “This is a test of fputc!!\n”;

char strptr2[] = “This is a test of _fputchar!!\n”;

char *p;

/* Print line to stream using fputc. */

p = strptr1;

while( (*p != '\0') && fputc( *(p++), stdout ) != EOF )

;

/* Print line to stream using _fputchar. */

p = strptr2;

while( (*p != '\0') && _fputchar( *(p++) ) != EOF )

;

}

Output

This is a test of fputc!!

This is a test of _fputchar!!
