puts : write a character string

Synopsis

#include <stdio.h>
int puts(const char *s);
int _puts_r(void *reent, const char *s);
```### Description

puts writes the string at s (followed by a newline, instead of the trailing null) to the standard output stream.

The alternate function _puts_r is a reentrant version. The extra argument reent is a pointer to a reentrancy structure.### Returns

If successful, the result is a nonnegative integer; otherwise, the result is EOF.
