NAME
print - shell built-in function to output characters to the screen or window
SYNOPSIS
ksh
print [ -Rnprsu [n]] [arg...]
DESCRIPTION
ksh
The shell output mechanism. With no flags or with flag - or -, the arguments are printed on standard output as described by echo(1).
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-n suppresses new-line from being added to the output.
-R
-r (raw mode) ignore the escape conventions of echo. The -R option will print all subsequent arguments and options other than
-n.
-p causes the arguments to be written onto the pipe of the process spawned with |& instead of standard output.
-s causes the arguments to be written onto the history file instead of standard output.
-u [ n ] flag can be used to specify a one digit file descriptor unit number n on which the output will be placed. The default is 1.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful operation.
>0 Output file is not open for writing.
