<h4><a name="tag_03_182_02"></a>SYNOPSIS</h4>

<p><code><tt>#include &lt;<a href="../basedefs/stdio.h.html">stdio.h</a>&gt;<br>

<h4><a name="tag_03_182_03"></a>DESCRIPTION</h4>
<blockquote>
<div class="box"><sup>[<a href="javascript:open_code('CX')">CX</a>]</sup> <img src="../images/opt-start.gif" alt="[Option Start]"
border="0"> The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO&nbsp;C standard. Any conflict between the
requirements described here and the ISO&nbsp;C standard is unintentional. This volume of IEEE&nbsp;Std&nbsp;1003.1-2001 defers to
the ISO&nbsp;C standard. <img src="../images/opt-end.gif" alt="[Option End]" border="0"></div>
<p>The <i>fputs</i>() function shall write the null-terminated string pointed to by <i>s</i> to the stream pointed to by
<i>stream</i>. The terminating null byte shall not be written.</p>
<p><sup>[<a href="javascript:open_code('CX')">CX</a>]</sup> <img src="../images/opt-start.gif" alt="[Option Start]" border="0"> The
<i>st_ctime</i> and <i>st_mtime</i> fields of the file shall be marked for update between the successful execution of
<i>fputs</i>() and the next successful completion of a call to <a href="../functions/fflush.html"><i>fflush</i>()</a> or <a href=
"../functions/fclose.html"><i>fclose</i>()</a> on the same stream or a call to <a href="../functions/exit.html"><i>exit</i>()</a>
or <a href="../functions/abort.html"><i>abort</i>()</a>. <img src="../images/opt-end.gif" alt="[Option End]" border="0"></p>
</blockquote>
<h4><a name="tag_03_182_04"></a>RETURN VALUE</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>Upon successful completion, <i>fputs</i>() shall return a non-negative number. Otherwise, it shall return EOF, set an error
indicator for the stream, <sup>[<a href="javascript:open_code('CX')">CX</a>]</sup> <img src="../images/opt-start.gif" alt=
"[Option Start]" border="0"> &nbsp;and set <i>errno</i> to indicate the error. <img src="../images/opt-end.gif" alt="[Option End]"

<blockquote>
<h5><a name="tag_03_182_06_01"></a>Printing to Standard Output</h5>
<p>The following example gets the current time, converts it to a string using <a href=
"../functions/localtime.html"><i>localtime</i>()</a> and <a href="../functions/asctime.html"><i>asctime</i>()</a>, and prints it to
standard output using <i>fputs</i>(). It then prints the number of minutes to an event for which it is waiting.</p>
<pre>
<tt>#include &lt;time.h&gt;
#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
...
time_t now;
int minutes_to_event;
...
time(&amp;now);
printf("The time is ");
fputs(asctime(localtime(&amp;now)), stdout);
printf("There are still %d minutes to the event.\n",
minutes_to_event);
...
