6.24.4 Displaying characters and strings ¶

type ( c-addr u –  ) core

If u>0, display u characters from a string starting with the character stored at c-addr.

xemit ( xc –  ) xchar “x-emit”

Display extended char xc.

emit ( c –  ) core

Display the byte c; for ASCII characters, emit is equivalent to xemit; for multi-byte characters, additional emit or type calls may be needed to display a complete character.

typewhite ( c-addr u –  ) gforth-0.2

Like type, but white space is printed instead of the characters. For now, only works correctly for strings of ASCII characters.
