- print [ -RnrslzpNDPoOic ] [ -un ] [ arg ... ]
- With no flags or with flag -, the arguments are
- printed on the standard output as described by
- echo, with the following differences: the escape
- sequence \M-x metafies the character x (sets the
- highest bit), \C-x produces a control character
- (\C-@ and \C-? give the characters NULL and delete)
- and \E is a synonym for \e. Finally, if not in an
- escape sequence, \ escapes the following character
- and is not printed.
- -R, -r ignore the escape conventions of echo. The
- -R option will print all subsequent argu-
- ments and options.
- -s place the results in the history list
- instead of on the standard output.
- -n do not add a newline to the output.
- -l print the arguments separated by newlines
- instead of spaces.
- -N print the arguments separated and terminated
- by nulls.
- -o print the arguments sorted in ascending
- order.
- -O print the arguments sorted in descending
- order.
- -i if given together with -o or -O makes them
- work case independently
- -c print the arguments in columns
- -un print the arguments to file descriptor n.
- -p print the arguments to the input of the
- coprocess.
- -z push the arguments onto the editing buffer
- stack, separated by spaces; no escape
- sequences are recognized.
- -D treat the arguments as directory names,
- replacing prefixes with ~ expressions, as
- appropriate.
- -P recognize the same escape sequences as in
- the PROMPT parameter.
-
- pwd Equivalent to print -R $PWD.
