FPUT --- Write a single character in stream mode to stdout
***********************************************************

.. function:: FPUT(C)

  Write a single character in stream mode to stdout by bypassing normal
  formatted output. Stream I/O should not be mixed with normal record-oriented
  (formatted or unformatted) I/O on the same unit; the results are unpredictable.

  :param C:
    The type shall be ``CHARACTER`` and of default
    kind.

  :param STATUS:
    (Optional) status flag of type ``INTEGER``.
    Returns 0 on success, -1 on end-of-file and a system specific positive
    error code otherwise.

  Standard:
    GNU extension

  Class:
    Subroutine, function

  Syntax:
    .. code-block:: fortran

      CALL FPUT(C [, STATUS])
      STATUS = FPUT(C)

  Example:
    .. code-block:: fortran

      PROGRAM test_fput
        CHARACTER(len=10) :: str = "gfortran"
        INTEGER :: i
        DO i = 1, len_trim(str)
          CALL fput(str(i:i))
        END DO
      END PROGRAM
