+.SH PROLOG
+This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.
+The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult
+the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
+or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
+.SH NAME
+fputs \- put a string on a stream
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+\fB#include <stdio.h>
+.br
+.sp
+int fputs(const char *restrict\fP \fIs\fP\fB, FILE *restrict\fP \fIstream\fP\fB);
+.br
+\fP
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+The \fIfputs\fP() function shall write the null-terminated string
+pointed to by \fIs\fP to the stream pointed to by
+\fIstream\fP. The terminating null byte shall not be written.
+.LP
+The
+\fIst_ctime\fP and \fIst_mtime\fP fields of the file shall be marked
+for update between the successful execution of
+\fIfputs\fP() and the next successful completion of a call to \fIfflush\fP()
+or \fIfclose\fP() on the same stream or a call to \fIexit\fP()
+or \fIabort\fP().
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+.LP
+Upon successful completion, \fIfputs\fP() shall return a non-negative
+number. Otherwise, it shall return EOF, set an error
+indicator for the stream, and set \fIerrno\fP to indicate the
+error.
+.SH ERRORS
+.LP
+Refer to \fIfputc\fP().
+.LP
+\fIThe following sections are informative.\fP
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.SS Printing to Standard Output
+.LP
+The following example gets the current time, converts it to a string
+using \fIlocaltime\fP() and \fIasctime\fP(), and prints it to
+standard output using \fIfputs\fP(). It then prints the number of
+minutes to an event for which it is waiting.

+.SH APPLICATION USAGE
+.LP
+The \fIputs\fP() function appends a <newline> while \fIfputs\fP()
