# IO.put(3kaya)

Write a string to a file.

## NAME

IO::put - Write a string to a file.

## SYNOPSIS

**Void put(** *File handle, String val* **)**

## ARGUMENTS

**handle** A file handle opened for writing or appending

**val** The string to write

## DESCRIPTION

Write a string to a file. Unlike **IO.putStr (3kaya)** this will not write a NULL terminator to the file, and so should be used when dealing with non-binary files.

**put(stdout,str)**  is equivalent to **Builtins::putStr(str)**
