print

   To  output,  even  if  to  a  screen. If a hacker says that a program
   "printed  a message", he means this; if he refers to printing a file,
   he  probably  means  it  in  the  conventional  sense of writing to a
   hardcopy  device  (compounds  like `print job' and `printout', on the
   other  hand,  always  refer  to the latter). This very common term is
   likely  a  holdover  from  the  days when printing terminals were the
   norm,  perpetuated  by  programming  language  constructs  like {C}'s
   printf(3). See senses 1 and 2 of {tty}.
