Write a character array to a stream.

This function is compatible with the following targets:

ANSI

BeOS

EMB/RTOS

Mac OS

Palm OS

Win32

#include <stdio.h>

int fputs(const char *s, FILE *stream);

Parameters for this facility are:

s	const char *	The string to write to a file
stream	FILE *	A pointer to a FILE stream

The fputs() function writes the array pointed to by s to stream and advances the file position indicator. The function writes all characters in s up to, but not including, the terminating null character. Unlike puts(), fputs() does not terminate the output of s with a newline ('\n').

If the file is opened in update mode (+) the file cannot be written to and then read from unless the write operation and read operation are separated by an operation that flushes the stream's buffer. This can be done with the fflush() function or one of the file positioning operations (fseek(), fsetpos(), or rewind()).

fputs() returns a zero if successful, and returns a nonzero value when it fails.
