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.
