# buffer\_puts(3)

write ASCIIZ string to buffer

## NAME

buffer\_puts - write ASCIIZ string to buffer

## SYNTAX

**#include \<libowfat/buffer.h\>**

int **buffer\_puts**(buffer\* *b*,const char\* *x*);

## DESCRIPTION

buffer\_puts is like buffer\_put with *len* determined as the number of bytes before the first \\0 in *x*.

The difference to buffer\_putsalign is that, when there isn't enough space for new data, buffer\_puts calls buffer\_flush before copying any data, while buffer\_putsalign fills all available space with data before calling buffer\_flush.

## RETURN VALUE

buffer\_puts returns 0 if everything was fine, -1 on error (setting errno).

## SEE ALSO

[buffer\_putsalign(3)](/buffer_putsalign/3.md), [buffer\_put(3)](/buffer_put/3.md), [buffer\_flush(3)](/buffer_flush/3.md), [buffer(3)](/buffer/3.md)
