ACC SHELL

print [ -abcDilmnNoOpPrsz ] [ -u n ] [ -f format ] [ -C cols ]
  [ -R [ -en ]] [ arg ... ]
       With the `-f' option the arguments are printed as  described  by
       printf.   With  no flags or with the 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  NUL  and
       delete), and `\E' is a synonym for `\e'.  Finally, if not in  an
       escape  sequence, `\' escapes the following character and is not
       printed.

       -a     Print arguments with the column incrementing first.  Only
              useful with the -c and -C options.

       -b     Recognize  all the escape sequences defined for the bind-
              key command, see zshzle(1).

       -c     Print the arguments in columns.  Unless -a is also given,
              arguments are printed with the row incrementing first.

       -C cols
              Print  the  arguments in cols columns.  Unless -a is also
              given, arguments are printed with  the  row  incrementing
              first.

       -D     Treat  the  arguments  as directory names, replacing pre-
              fixes with ~ expressions, as appropriate.

       -i     If given together with -o or  -O,  sorting  is  performed
              case-independently.

       -l     Print  the  arguments  separated  by  newlines instead of
              spaces.

       -m     Take the first argument as a pattern (should be  quoted),
              and  remove  it  from  the  argument  list  together with
              subsequent arguments that do not match this pattern.

       -n     Do not add a newline to the output.

       -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.

       -p     Print the arguments to the input of the coprocess.

       -P     Perform  prompt  expansion  (see  EXPANSION   OF   PROMPT
              SEQUENCES in zshmisc(1)).

       -r     Ignore the escape conventions of echo.

       -R     Emulate  the  BSD  echo  command,  which does not process
              escape sequences unless the -e flag  is  given.   The  -n
              flag suppresses the trailing newline.  Only the -e and -n
              flags are recognized after -R; all  other  arguments  and
              options are printed.

       -s     Place  the  results in the history list instead of on the
              standard output.

       -u n   Print the arguments to file descriptor n.

       -z     Push the arguments onto the editing buffer  stack,  sepa-
              rated by spaces.

       If  any  of `-m', `-o' or `-O' are used in combination with `-f'
       and there are no arguments (after the  removal  process  in  the
       case of `-m') then nothing is printed.

pushln [ arg ... ]
       Equivalent to print -nz.
