DESCRIPTION

puts() writes the string pointed to by s, followed by a new-line character, to the standard output stream stdout (see intro(3)). 

fputs() writes the null-terminated string pointed to by s to the named output stream.

Neither function writes the terminating null character. 

RETURN VALUES

On success both routines return the number of characters written; otherwise they return EOF. 

SEE ALSO

write(2), intro(3)), fclose(3S), ferror(3S), fopen(3S), printf(3S), putc(3S), stdio(3S)

NOTES

puts() appends a new-line character while fputs() does not.
