### 4.48 `puts`—write a character string

Synopsis

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

    int _puts_r(struct _reent *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`.

Portability
ANSI C requires `puts`, but does not specify that the result on success must be `0`; any non-negative value is permitted.

Supporting OS subroutines required: `close`, `fstat`, `isatty`, `lseek`, `read`, `sbrk`, `write`.
