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 stream.
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 if the string was longer than that), some simply return a non-negative constant.
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
