puts, _putws
Visual Studio .NET 2003
Write a string to stdout.
int puts( const char *string ); int _putws( const wchar_t *string );
Parameter
- string
- Output string.
Return Value
Returns a nonnegative value if successful. If puts fails, it returns EOF; if _putws fails, it returns WEOF.
Remarks
The puts function writes string to the standard output stream stdout, replacing the string's terminating null character ('\0') with a newline character ('\n') in the output stream.
Under Windows NT, _putwch writes Unicode characters using the current CONSOLE LOCALE setting.
