Puts

puts¶

Portable echo replacement that wraps printf. Supports a subset of echo flags (-e for escape sequences, -E to suppress them, -n/-end to suppress the trailing newline) plus -j to output a JSON key-value pair. Named 'puts' rather than overriding 'echo' because some shells protect their builtins.

Arguments¶

• $1 (string): Optional flag: -e, -E, -j, -n/--end, -en, -En, -ne, -nE
• $2 (string): Content to print (remaining args passed through)

Exit codes¶

• 0: Always

Output on stdout¶

• Formatted string per the selected mode
