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.
