Print Variable Information (print)

print [variable]

Expand remake variables.

Variable names should not be preceded with a dollar sign.

Note however that a more versatile print command is examine which can print arbitrary string expands which of course includes variables.

If you omit variable, the last expression is displayed again.

Examples:

remake<0> print SHELL
Makefile:168 (origin: makefile) SHELL = /bin/sh

/tmp/remake/Makefile:243: Makefile.in
remake<1> print $MAKE   # don't use $
Can't find variable $MAKE

/tmp/remake/Makefile:243: Makefile.in
remake<1> print shell   # note case is significant
Can't find variable shell
