cputs

Header File 

conio.h 

Category 

Console I/O Routines 

Prototype 

int cputs(const char *str); 

Description 

Writes a string to the screen. 

cputs writes the null-terminated string str to the current text window. It does not append a newline character. 

The string is written either directly to screen memory or by way of a BIOS call, depending on the value of the global variable _directvideo. Unlike puts, cputs does not translate linefeed characters (\n) into carriage-return/linefeed character pairs (\r\n).

Note: Do not use this function in Win32 GUI applications.
Return Value 

cputs returns the last character printed. 

Example  

#include <conio.h>
int main(void)
{
   /* clear the screen */
   clrscr();
   /* create a text window */
   window(10, 10, 80, 25);
   /* output some text in the window */
   cputs("This is within the window\r\n");
   /* wait for a key */
   getch();
   return 0;
}
