octave:1> help fprintf
 -- Built-in Function:  fprintf (FID, TEMPLATE, ...)
     This function is just like `printf', except that the output is
     written to the stream FID instead of `stdout'.

     See also: printf, sprintf, fread, fscanf, fopen, fclose.

fprintf is a built-in function

Additional help for built-in functions and operators is
available in the on-line version of the manual.  Use the command
`doc <topic>' to search the manual index.

octave:2> fprintf("Why ?\n");
Why ?
octave:3>

I expect 'fprintf' to fail since no FID is specified.
Or the documentation to say otherwise.

Thanks,
  Sergei.
