std::puts
Defined in header <cstdio>
|
||
int puts( const char *str );
|
||
Writes every character from the null-terminated string str
and one additional newline character '\n' to the output stream stdout, as if by repeatedly executing std::fputc
The terminating null character from str
is not written.
Parameters
str | - | character string to be written |
Return value
On success, returns a non-negative value
On failure, returns EOF and sets the error indicator (see std::ferror) on stdout
Notes
The std::puts
function appends the newline character to the output, while std::fputs function does not.
Different implementations return different non-negative numbers: some return the last character written, some return the number of characters written (or INT_MAX
A typical cause of failure for std::puts
is running out of space on the file system, when stdout
is redirected to a file.
Example
#include <cstdio> int main() { int rc = std::puts("Hello World"); if (rc == EOF) std::perror("puts()"); // POSIX requires that errno is set }
Output:
Hello World
