puts

write a string to stdout

Synopsis:

#include <stdio.h>
int puts( const char *buf );

Description:

The puts() function writes the character string pointed to by buf to the output stream designated by stdout, and appends a new-line character to the output. The terminating null character is not written.

Returns:

The puts() function returns a non-zero value if an error occurs; otherwise, it returns zero. When an error has occurred, errno contains a value that indicates the type of error that has been detected.
