Echo text onto the standard output

pprriinntt [-eennrruu_n] [_a_r_g_u_m_e_n_t ...]

The command  pprriinntt is  built into the  Korn shell kksshh.  It echoes
each _a_r_g_u_m_e_n_t onto  the standard output.  Arguments are separated
from  each other  by  whitespace, and  the list  of arguments  is
terminated by a newline character.

pprriinntt recognizes and substitutes for the following C-style escape
sequences:


               \b        Backspace
               \f        Formfeed
               \n        Newline
               \r        Carriage return
               \t        Tab
               \v        Vertical tab
               \0_n_n_n     _n_n_n is the octal value of the desired character


pprriinntt recognizes the following options:

-ee   Re-enable expansion of C escape sequences.

-nn   Suppress printing  of a  newline at the  end of the  list of
     arguments.

-rr   Suppress expansion of C escape sequences.

-uu_n  Redirect  output  from the  standard  output  to shell  file
     descriptor _n.
