write
Synopsis
write filehandle
Description
Writes a formatted record (possibly multiline) to the specified filehandle, using the format associated with that filehandle—see Section 4.10 in Chapter 4. By default, the format for a filehandle is the one having the same name as the filehandle.
If filehandle is unspecified, output goes to the
current default output filehandle, which starts out as STDOUT
but may be changed by the select operator.
If the filehandle is an expression, then the
expression is evaluated to determine the actual
filehandle at runtime.
Note that write is not
the opposite of read. Use print for simple string output.
If you
want to bypass standard I/O, see syswrite.
