You can also use write, since the first parametr is a file descriptor, you just have to substitute it with console descriptor which is always 0, you can write something like that

Code:

#include <unistd.h>
char msg[] = "Hello Linux World!!!";
int  main(void)
{
    write(0, msg, sizeof(msg));
    return 0;
}
