puts
[write a character string]

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

COMPLIANCE
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.
