+.TH PUTS 3  1993-04-04 "GNU" "Linux Programmer's Manual"
+.SH NAME
+fputc, fputs, putc, putchar, puts \- output of characters and strings
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B #include <stdio.h>
+.sp
+.BI "int fputc(int " c ", FILE *" stream );
+.nl
+.BI "int fputs(const char *" "s" ", FILE *" "stream" );
+.nl
+.BI "int putc(int " c ", FILE *" stream );
+.nl
+.BI "int putchar(int " c );
+.nl
+.BI "int puts(const char *" "s" );
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B fputc()
+writes the character
+.IR c ,
+cast to an
+.BR "unsigned char" ,
+to
+.IR stream .
+.PP
+.B fputs()
+writes the string
+.I s
+to
+.IR stream ,
+without its trailing
+.BR '\e0' .
+.PP
+.B putc()
+is equivalent to
+.B fputc()
+except that it may be implemented as a macro which evaluates
+.I stream
+more than once.
+.PP
+.BI "putchar(" c );
+is equivalent to
+.BI "putc(" c , stdout ).
+.PP
+.BR puts() 
+writes the string
+.I s
+and a trailing newline
+to
+.IR stdout .
+.PP
+Calls to the functions described here can be mixed with each other and with
+calls to other output functions from the
+.B stdio
+library for the same output stream.
+.PP
+For non-locking counterparts, see
+.BR unlocked_stdio (3).
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+.BR fputc() , " putc() " and " putchar()"
+return the character written as an
+.B unsigned char
+cast to an
+.B int
+or
+.B EOF
+on error.
+.PP
+.BR puts() " and " fputs()
+return a non-negative number on success, or
+.B EOF
+on error.
+.PP
+.SH "CONFORMING TO"
+ANSI - C, POSIX.1
+.SH BUGS
+It is not advisable to mix calls to output functions from the
+.B stdio
+library with low - level calls to
+.B write() 
+for the file descriptor associated with the same output stream; the results
+will be undefined and very probably not what you want.
