fputs, fputws

Write a string to a stream.

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

int fputws( const wchar_t *string, FILE *stream );

For additional compatibility information, see Compatibility in the Introduction.

Libraries

Return Value

Each of these functions returns a nonnegative value if it is successful. On an error, fputs returns EOF, and fputws returns WEOF.

Parameters

string

Output string

stream

Pointer to FILE structure

Remarks

Each of these functions copies string to the output stream at the current position. fputws copies the wide-character argument string to stream as a multibyte-character string or a wide-character string according to whether stream is opened in text mode or binary mode, respectively. Neither function copies the terminating null character.

Generic-Text Routine Mappings

 * a single line to the stdout stream.
 */

#include <stdio.h>

{
   fputs( "Hello world from fputs.\n", stdout );
}

Output
