Remarks

putch outputs the character c to the current text window. It is a text mode function performing direct video output to the console, putch does not translate linefeed characters (\n) into carriage-return/linefeed pairs.

The string is written either directly to screen memory or by way of a BIOS call, depending on the value of the global variable directvideo.

Return value

On success, putch returns the character printed, c. On error, it returns EOF.
