puts 

Writes a string to the standard output stream stdout.

Syntax 

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

Parameters 

s             A pointer to a character array containing the string to be
              written to stdout.  The character array must be terminated
              with a null character.

Return Values 

>=0           Success.

EOF           An error occurred.

Description 

The puts function writes the string from a character array pointed to by
s to the standard output stream stdout.  The string is terminated by a
null character in the array, which puts() replaces with a new line in the
output.

Examples 

The following example uses gets() and puts():

        #include <stdio.h>
        main()
        {
           char line[80], *gets();

           while((gets(line)) != NULL)
              puts(line);
        }

To terminate this program, generate an end of file on stdin.  Using
string comparison and string length functions, you can write a
termination condition for this program.
