# puts Write a value to a channel (defaults to `:stdout`), followed by a newline. ## Syntax

[puts $value]
[puts $target $value]

## Parameters - `$target` — (optional) A `%Chan` handle from `open`, or one of the standard stream keywords `:stdin` / `:stdout` / `:stderr`; defaults to `:stdout`. - `$value` — Value to write. Strings are written raw; other values are formatted the same way `echo` formats them. ## Examples

[puts "hello"]                        # stdout
[puts :stderr "boom"]                 # stderr — no fd numbers anywhere

set chan [open "/tmp/log.txt" "a"]
[puts $chan "appended entry"]
[close $chan]

## Returns nil. ## See Also `gets`, `open`, `close`, `echo`, `println`
