difference between fputs and puts in c

Question

please explain it to me that what is the dfference between puts(string name) and fputs(string name,stdout)

both of them have the same output especially when I use fgets(string name,n,stdin) for get std size of a string for a safe code , but after that and for print to output , what is the difference between them although both of them have the same output?

`puts` is equivalent to `fputs("",stdin)`, but with a newline character after the string. — alex01011, Aug 27 '21 at 15:49
You might want to read more about these functions in your books. Or a decent [`fputs`](https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/io/fputs) and [`puts`](https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/io/puts) reference. — Some programmer dude, Aug 27 '21 at 15:50
@alex01011 I think you meant `fputs("",stdout)` because you cannot write to `stdin` — FFmpegEnthusiast, Jul 03 '23 at 03:04

puts appends a newline to the string, and fputs doesn't.

Otherwise there is no difference, except of course that with fputs you can specify a different stream, while puts always writes to stdout.
