print for strings

Print the given values to stdout.

Signature

> print ...rest --no-newline --stderr

Parameters

• ...rest: the values to print
• --no-newline (-n): print without inserting a newline for the line ending
• --stderr (-e): print to stderr instead of stdout

Input/output types:

input	output
any	nothing
nothing	nothing

Examples

Print 'hello world'

> print "hello world"

Print the sum of 2 and 3

> print (2 + 3)

Notes

Unlike echo, this command does not return any value (print | describe will return "nothing"). Since this command has no output, there is no point in piping it with other commands.

print may be used inside blocks of code (e.g.: hooks) to display text during execution without interfering with the pipeline.
