 **Summary**
 
 Provide a `print` implementation for scripts. The routine converts all of its
-arguments to strings and outputs them char-by-char using
-`jerry_port_print_byte`. The NULL character is output as "\u0000",
-other characters are output bytewise.
+arguments to strings and outputs them by using `jerry_port_print_buffer`.
+The NULL character is output as "\u0000", other characters are output bytewise.
 
 *Note*: This implementation does not use standard C `printf` to print its
 output. This allows more flexibility but also extends the core JerryScript
 engine port API. Applications that want to use `jerryx_handler_print` must
 ensure that their port implementation also provides
