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

Copy Code

    #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;
    }
