Looking in the vapi:

public class FileStream {
...
        [CCode (cname="fputs",...)]
        public void puts(string s);
}

Then looking at man fputs():

fputs() writes the string s to stream, without its trailing '\0'
...
puts() writes the string s and a trailing newline to stdout

Why is puts(string s) set to fputs again? Formatting?
