Example

/* CPUTS.C: This program first displays
 * a string to the console.
 */

#include <conio.h>

void main( void )
{
   /* String to print at console.
    * Note the \r (return) character.
    */
   char *buffer = "Hello world (courtesy of _cputs)!\r\n";

   _cputs( buffer );
}

Output

Hello world (courtesy of _cputs)!
