I am trying to use the 'print' command in a script in Redhat Linux
7.0. I don't find the command 'print' or a 'man' page on it.

I want to confirm that Linux uses the 'echo' command instead of 'print'?

Thank you,

Jorge M.

The command is called printf and it has a C like options.

Well, we cant confirm that until you tell us what you think that the
'print' command does <g>.

If you intend to display a text line, then 'echo' will do.
If you intend to print a text file, then 'lpr' is the command to use.
If you intend to wear flowered shirts ('prints' <g>), then you have to
install a custom package.
