Print

The set print command redirects the output of the print command.

Syntax:

     set print
     set print "-"
     set print "<filename>" [append]
     set print "|<shell_command>"
     set print $datablock [append]

set print with no parameters restores output to 4#4STDERR5#5. The 4#4filename5#5 "-" means 4#4STDOUT5#5. The append flag causes the file to be opened in append mode. A 4#4filename5#5 starting with "3#3" is opened as a pipe to the 4#4shell_command5#5 on platforms that support piping.

The destination for print commands can also be a named data block. Data block names start with '$', see also inline data (p. ). When printing a string to a data block, embedded newline characters are expanded to generate multiple data block entries. This is a CHANGE.
