"print" is an internal ksh-command. AFAIK it is also an internal command in the bash.

I don't know about OpenBSD and I definitely don't know about Linux (honestly, IMHO Linux is to UNIX what Lego is to construction works), but as much as I know there are many flavours of Linux all with different sets of (mostly unsensible) aliases, therefore what you say may or may not be true for another of the seveteen dozens of major distribution. (Still, this disdain of mine may reflect only personal preferences and I don't intend to start a religious war (tm) here about Unix flavours or flavours of somewhat-Unix-like OSes.)

I'd like to take back my obviously inflammatory remark in the general form i offered it and state instead that what i said is only true for real OSes with real shells, which have an internal "print" command.

PS: i use AIX, HP-UX, SunOS and (most enjoyable) VMS.

ldbash

LDBASH(1)							  libbash Manual							 LDBASH(1)

NAME

     ldbash -- Dynamic loader for libbash(7) libraries.

SYNOPSIS

     ldbash [-h | --help]
     ldbash [-l | --list]
     ldbash [-L | --load lib,[lib] ...]
     ldbash [-U | --unload lib,[lib] ...]
     ldbash [-e | --externlist lib,[lib] ...]
     ldbash [--externlist-all]
     ldbash [--i | --internlista lib,[lib] ...]
     ldbash [--internlist-all]

DESCRIPTION

     ldbash  is  used  to  manipulate  libbash(7)  libraries.  Its main function is to load specific library.  It can also print list of available
     libraries, list functions each library exports, unload functions, etc.

     In case of --load and --unload ,the output is intended to be passed to bash eval command.

Options
     -h | --help   Print options summary

     -l | --list   Display list of available libraries. The libraries names listed, may be passed as parameters to other  invocations  of  ldbash.
		   I.e. first you run ldbash --list to see what is available and then you may load it.

     -L | --load lib,[lib] ...
		   Load  given	libraries  -  i.e. print string that should be passed to eval command.	Usually the string contains various source
		   commands.

		   Libraries that given libraries depend on are also loaded.

		   Libraries only loaded if their dependencies are satisfied. Dependencies are resolved using ldbash.cache file, which is  created
		   by ldbashconfig(8).

     -U | --unload lib,[lib] ...
		   Unload given libraries, but not their dependencies.

		   The output should be passed to eval command (in the same manner as with --load ).

     -e | --externlist lib,[lib] ...
		   List all symbols that are exported by given libraries. Symbols are usually functions that given libraries implement.

     --externlist-all
		   List all exported symbols of all available libraries. Symbols are usually functions that library implement.

     -i | --internlist lib,[lib] ...
		   List  all  internal	symbols (i.e. global variables/functions) of given libraries.  This is intended mostly for developers that
		   want to develop library of their own, and want to be sure that they don't override any already defined symbol.

     --internlist-all
		   List all internal symbols of all available libraries.  This is intended mostly for developers that want to develop  library	of
		   their own, and want to be sure that they don't override any already defined symbol.

FILES

     /etc/ldbash.cache
	    Cache  file  that  contains  information  about libraries dependencies and list of exported symbols. See ldbashconfig((8)) for further
	    details.

BUGS

     The script can't load libraries if their file name starts with '-'.  (If someone uses file names that start with a '-' he/she deserves it!)
