The print-filter command controls the ways attribute and value marks are displayed or printed.
print-filter {(options}
| options | n | Makes attribute and value marks printable. |
| f | Leaves attribute and value marks unchanged. |
If the print-filter command is issued without an option, the current setting status is returned.
In conjunction with the crt-delimiters command, the print-filter command allows attribute and value marks to display or print in three different ways, according to this table:
delimiters filter print | crt statements --------------------------------------------------------------- (f (f unchanged (x’fe’) (n (f unchanged (x’fd’) (f (n ’^’,’] | cr/lf (n (n ’^’ and ’]’
The print-filter command takes precedence over the crt-delimiters command. As a result, when the print-filter is set to off, the crt-delimiters has no effect. At boot time, the print-filter defaults to on.
