Description:

The putchar() function writes the character c, cast as (int)(unsigned char), to the stdout stream. It's equivalent to:

Returns:

Examples:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main( void )
{
    FILE *fp;
    int c;

    fp = fopen( "file", "r" );
    c = fgetc( fp );
    while( c != EOF ) {
        putchar( c );
        c = fgetc( fp );
    }
    fclose( fp );
    
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
