find, globally search regex and print, list, concatenate, change directory, make directory etc. are all commands. They all have some kind of imperative verb in there, so "print" fits that pattern.
- lovelyviking 6y agoIf I am not mistaken command sends to stdout which can be anything, so print doesn't fit there at all, while pathname still does. Print is used in a sence of some output, like all commands do. Functionality though is difined by WHAT it actually sends to the output, just as with other commands.
