[comp.unix.questions] difference between putc and fputc

ad0@mtgzz.att.com (XMRN10000[saf]-a.dhingra) (06/20/88)

What is the difference between putc and fputc ?
One is a macro and the other is a function.
One runs faster than the other and the other one occupies lesser
space each invocation.  How does this happen ?

Please e-mail.  I'll definitely post the answer.
