PROLOGThis 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.
NAMEfputs — put a string on a stream
SYNOPSIS#include <stdio.h>
int fputs(const char *restrict s, FILE *restrict stream);
DESCRIPTIONThe functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1‐2017 defers to the ISO C standard. The fputs() function shall write the null-terminated string pointed to by s to the stream pointed to by stream. The terminating null byte shall not be written. The last data modification and last file status change timestamps of the file shall be marked for update between the successful execution of fputs() and the next successful completion of a call to fflush() or fclose() on the same stream or a call to exit() or abort().
RETURN VALUEUpon successful completion, fputs() shall return a non-negative number. Otherwise, it shall return EOF, set an error indicator for the stream, and set errno to indicate the error.
ERRORSRefer to fputc(). The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
Printing to Standard OutputThe following example gets the current time, converts it to a string using localtime() and asctime(), and prints it to standard output using fputs(). It then prints the number of minutes to an event for which it is waiting. #include <time.h>
#include <stdio.h>
...
time_t now;
int minutes_to_event;
...
time(&now);
printf("The time is ");
fputs(asctime(localtime(&now)), stdout);
printf("There are still %d minutes to the event.\n",
minutes_to_event);
...
APPLICATION USAGEThe puts() function appends a <newline> while fputs() does not. This volume of POSIX.1‐2017 requires that successful completion simply return a non-negative integer. There are at least three known different implementation conventions for this requirement: * Return a constant value. * Return the last character written. * Return the number of bytes written. Note that this implementation convention cannot be adhered to for strings longer than {INT_MAX} bytes as the value would not be representable in the return type of the function. For backwards-compatibility, implementations can return the number of bytes for strings of up to {INT_MAX} bytes, and return {INT_MAX} for all longer strings.
RATIONALEThe fputs() function is one whose source code was specified in the referenced The C Programming Language. In the original edition, the function had no defined return value, yet many practical implementations would, as a side-effect, return the value of the last character written as that was the value remaining in the accumulator used as a return value. In the second edition of the book, either the fixed value 0 or EOF would be returned depending upon the return value of ferror(); however, for compatibility with extant implementations, several implementations would, upon success, return a positive value representing the last byte written.
FUTURE DIRECTIONSNone.
