I sometimes call a function with side-effects in IO a "command". But the terms are fungible. But calling putStr a "function" is correct. It is not a "pure function" however.
Is that the standard party line?
I don't think so. putStr certainly is a pure function. Try running.. main :: IO () main = let action = putStr "Bye" in action `seq` action ..and see what happens. Regards -- Adrian Hey
