<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
<B>fputc</B>()
writes the character
<I>c</I>,
cast to an
<I>unsigned char</I>,
to
<I>stream</I>.
<P>
<B>fputs</B>()
writes the string
<I>s</I>
to
<I>stream</I>,
without its terminating null byte ('\0').
<P>
<B>putc</B>()
is equivalent to
<B>fputc</B>()
except that it may be implemented as a macro which evaluates
<I>stream</I>
more than once.
<P>
<B>putchar(</B><I>c</I><B>)</B>
is equivalent to
<B>putc(</B><I>c</I><B>, </B><I>stdout</I><B>)</B><I></I>.
<P>
<B>puts</B>()
writes the string
<I>s</I>
and a trailing newline
to
<I>stdout</I>.
<P>
Calls to the functions described here can be mixed with each other and with
calls to other output functions from the
<I>stdio</I>
library for the same output stream.
<P>
For nonlocking counterparts, see
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?3+unlocked_stdio">unlocked_stdio</A></B>(3).
<A NAME="lbAE">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2>
<B>fputc</B>(),
<B>putc</B>()
and
<B>putchar</B>()
return the character written as an
<I>unsigned char</I>
cast to an
<I>int</I>
or
<B>EOF</B>
on error.
<P>
<B>puts</B>()
and
<B>fputs</B>()
return a nonnegative number on success, or
<B>EOF</B>
on error.

<A NAME="lbAH">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>BUGS</H2>
It is not advisable to mix calls to output functions from the
<I>stdio</I>
library with low-level calls to
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?2+write">write</A></B>(2)
for the file descriptor associated with the same output stream; the results
will be undefined and very probably not what you want.
