P num

19.0.0 released Nov 08, 2023

P num

Purpose: Outputs a number.

p-num <number> [ bytes-written [ define ] <bytes written> ]

p-num outputs a number expression given by <number>. The output is sent to a client that made the request. If this is within write-string, then <number> is output into the buffer that builds a new string.

Note that number can be of any integer type (such as "char", "int", "long" etc.) up to 64-bit signed number (i.e. of "num" type).

If "bytes-written" clause is used, then the number of bytes output will be in <bytes written>, which can be created with an optional "define".

Examples

To output a number to a client:

num x = 100;
p-num x
