Print

The set print command redirects the output of the print command to a file.

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 $<$STDERR$>$. The $<$filename$>$ "-" means $<$STDOUT$>$. The append flag causes the file to be opened in append mode. A $<$filename$>$ starting with "$\vert$" is opened as a pipe to the $<$shell_command$>$ 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.
