print

Print text (zsh/ksh)

$ print "Hello, World!"

$ print -n "text"

$ print -u [2] "Error message"

$ print "Line1\nLine2"

print [options] [args]

print is a shell built-in command available in ksh and zsh that outputs text to stdout. It provides more control than echo, supporting escape sequence processing, output to specific file descriptors, and suppression of the trailing newline.
The -u option directs output to a numbered file descriptor (useful for writing to stderr or other open descriptors), while -l prints each argument on a separate line. Unlike echo, print's behavior is consistent and not affected by argument values that look like options.
