print
 v.

   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}.
