Once a file has been opened for writing a string can be written to the
file using the fputs
function. The following example shows
how to write the string `Free Software is needed for Free Science'
to the file `free.txt'.
filename = "free.txt"; fid = fopen (filename, "w"); fputs (fid, "Free Software is needed for Free Science"); fclose (fid);
Write a string to a file with no formatting.
Return a non-negative number on success and EOF on error.
A function much similar to fputs
is available for writing data
to the screen. The puts
function works just like fputs
except it doesn't take a file pointer as its input.
