User contributed notes in manual:
The print() function returns a boolean indicating the status of the call.
If the write was successful, print() returns 1. If not, it
returns 0. This can be used to detect when the client has closed the
connection, and appropriate measures taken. The builtin echo does not
provide this same service.
