Difference between putch() & putchar()

[Shubhangi24]

What is the difference between putch() & putchar() in C programming?

[rski]

Both displays single character.

putch comes from conio.h and I what wiki says (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conio.h) it is not supported on Linux.

putchar comes from stdio.h and you can use it with no problems on Linux.
