princ

(princ object &optional stream)

Writes object to standard output in human-readable form, with no surrounding quotes on strings and no #\ prefix on characters, and without a trailing newline. This is the form meant for display rather than for reading back. A symbol prints as its symbol-name alone: a keyword's leading :, a gensym's #: and a package qualifier (quri:uri prints as URI) are all where the symbol lives rather than part of its name, and none of them is printed (prin1/print keep them). A condition object prints its :report (prin1 keeps the #<...> instance syntax). Binding *print-case* converts the case of every symbol printed (Reader Case). With the optional stream argument the output goes to that stream instead of standard output. Returns object.
