-.SH NAME
-puts \- Write to a channel
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-\fBputs \fR?\fB\-nonewline\fR? ?\fIchannelId\fR? \fIstring\fR
-.BE
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.PP
-Writes the characters given by \fIstring\fR to the channel given
-by \fIchannelId\fR.
-.PP
-\fIChannelId\fR must be an identifier for an open channel such as a
-Tcl standard channel (\fBstdout\fR or \fBstderr\fR), the return
-value from an invocation of \fBopen\fR or \fBsocket\fR, or the result
-of a channel creation command provided by a Tcl extension. The channel
-must have been opened for output.
-.PP
-If no \fIchannelId\fR is specified then it defaults to
-\fBstdout\fR. \fBPuts\fR normally outputs a newline character after
-\fIstring\fR, but this feature may be suppressed by specifying the
-\fB\-nonewline\fR switch.
-.PP
-Newline characters in the output are translated by \fBputs\fR to
-platform-specific end-of-line sequences according to the current
-value of the \fB\-translation\fR option for the channel (for example,
-on PCs newlines are normally replaced with carriage-return-linefeed
-sequences.
-See the \fBfconfigure\fR manual entry for a discussion on ways in
-which \fBfconfigure\fR will alter output.
-.PP
-Tcl buffers output internally, so characters written with \fBputs\fR
-may not appear immediately on the output file or device; Tcl will
-normally delay output until the buffer is full or the channel is
-closed.
-You can force output to appear immediately with the \fBflush\fR
-command.
-.PP
-When the output buffer fills up, the \fBputs\fR command will normally
-block until all the buffered data has been accepted for output by the
-operating system.
-If \fIchannelId\fR is in nonblocking mode then the \fBputs\fR command
-will not block even if the operating system cannot accept the data.
-Instead, Tcl continues to buffer the data and writes it in the
-background as fast as the underlying file or device can accept it.
-The application must use the Tcl event loop for nonblocking output
-to work; otherwise Tcl never finds out that the file or device is
-ready for more output data.
-It is possible for an arbitrarily large amount of data to be
-buffered for a channel in nonblocking mode, which could consume a
-large amount of memory.
-To avoid wasting memory, nonblocking I/O should normally
-be used in an event-driven fashion with the \fBfileevent\fR command
-(do not invoke \fBputs\fR unless you have recently been notified
-via a file event that the channel is ready for more output data).
-.SH EXAMPLES
-.PP
-Write a short message to the console (or wherever \fBstdout\fR is
-directed):
-.PP
-.CS
-\fBputs\fR "Hello, World!"
-.CE
-.PP
-Print a message in several parts:
-.PP
-.CS
-\fBputs\fR -nonewline "Hello, "
-\fBputs\fR "World!"
-.CE
-.PP
-Print a message to the standard error channel:
-.PP
-.CS
-\fBputs\fR stderr "Hello, World!"
-.CE
-.PP
-Append a log message to a file:
-.PP
-.CS
-set chan [open my.log a]
-set timestamp [clock format [clock seconds]]
-\fBputs\fR $chan "$timestamp - Hello, World!"
-close $chan
