--raw, -r: Print without formatting (including binary data).
Parameters
-
...rest: The values to print.
Input/output types:
| input | output |
|---|---|
| nothing | nothing |
| any | nothing |
Examples
Print 'hello world'
> print "hello world"
Print the sum of 2 and 3
> print (2 + 3)
Print 'ABC' from binary data
> 0x[41 42 43] | print --raw
Notes
Unlike echo, this command does not return any value (print | describe will return "nothing"). Since this command has no output, there is no point in piping it with other commands.
print may be used inside blocks of code (e.g.: hooks) to display text during execution without interfering with the pipeline. In protocol modes (--lsp, --mcp), print always writes to stderr to keep stdout reserved for protocol messages.
