NAME

       print - shell built-in function to output characters to the screen or window

SYNOPSIS

   ksh
       print [-Rnprsu [n]] [arg]...

   ksh93
       print [-Renprs] [-f format] [-u fd] [string...]

DESCRIPTION

   ksh
       The  shell  output mechanism. When no options are specified, or when an option followed by ' a - is specified, or when just - is specified,
       the arguments are printed on standard output as described by echo(1).

   ksh93
       By default, print writes each string operand to standard output and appends a NEWLINE character.

       Unless, the -r, -R, or -f option is speciifed, each  character in each string operand is processed specially as follows:

       a      Alert character.

             Backspace character.

       c      Terminate output without appending NEWLINE. The remaining string operands are ignored.

       E      Escape character (ASCII octal 033).

       f      FORM FEED character.

       
      NEWLINE character.

       	      Tab character.

       v      Vertical tab character.

       \      Backslash character.

       x     The 8-bit character whose ASCII code is the 1-, 2-, or 3-digit octal number x.

OPTIONS

   ksh
       The following options are supported by ksh:

       -n	   Suppresses new-line from being added to the output.

       -r-R	   Raw mode. Ignore the escape conventions of echo. The -R option prints all subsequent arguments and options other than -n.

       -p	   Cause the arguments to be written onto the pipe of the process spawned with |& instead of standard output.

       -s	   Cause the arguments to be written onto the history file instead of standard output.

       -u [ n ]    Specify a one digit file descriptor unit number n on which the output is placed. The default is 1.

   ksh93
       The following options are supported by ksh93:

       -e	    Unless -f is specified, process  sequences in each string operand as described above. This is the default behavior.

		    If both -e and -r are specified, the last one specified is the one that is used.

       -f format    Write the string arguments using the format string format and do not append a NEWLINE. See printf(1) for  details  on  how	to
		    specify format.

		    When  the  -f  option is specified and there are more string operands than format specifiers, the format string is reprocessed
		    from the beginning. If there are fewer string operands than format specifiers, then outputting ends at the first unneeded for-
		    mat specifier.

       -n	    Do not append a NEWLINE character to the output.

       -p	    Write to the current co-process instead of standard output.

       -r	    Do not process  sequences in each string operand as described above.
       -R
		    If both -e and -r are specified, the last one specified is the one that is used.

       -s	    Write the output as an entry in the shell history file instead of standard output.

       -u fd	    Write to file descriptor number fd instead of standard output. The default value is 1.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0     Successful completion.

       >0    Output file is not open for writing.
