  NAME

    print - print arguments on standard output

  SYNOPSIS

    print [-nprsun | -R [-en]] [argument ...]

  DESCRIPTION

    This command is a Korn-shell built-in command.

    The print command prints its arguments on the standard output, separated
    by spaces, and terminated with a newline. The -n option suppresses the
    newline. By default, certain C escapes are translated. These include \b,
    \f, \n, \r, \t, \v, and \0###. (Note that # is an octal digit, of which
    there can be 0 to 3.) \c is equivalent to using the -n option. \ expansion
    can be inhibited with the -r option. The -s option prints to the history
    file instead of standard output, the -u option prints to file descriptor n
    (n defaults to 1 if omitted), and the -p option prints to the co-process
    (see the section on co-processes in ksh(1)).

    The -R option is used to emulate, to some degree, the Berkeley Software
    Distribution (BSD) echo command, which does not process \ sequences unless
    the -e option is given. As above, the -n option suppresses the trailing
    newline.
