| text | Text string to output |
The _outtext function outputs the null-terminated string that text points to. No formatting is provided, in contrast to the standard console I/O library routines such as printf. This function will work in any screen mode.
Text output begins at the current text position.
To output text using special fonts, you must use the _outgtext function.
