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 out-
           put.

     -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  descrip-
           tor  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.
