What is the "share button" on iPad?

This " share button" is mentioned many times. I probably use it but don't know that's what it's called. Where is it?

iPad, iOS 7

There is a "share" icon common to many apps: a box with an arrow coming out of it. On iOS6, the arrow was thick and curved, pointed off to the side; on iOS7 it is thin and straight, pointed straight up.

The Share icon is used to share or send items on your iPad to others or to another place n your iPad.

Want to send a photo to someone? Tap the Share icon and you'll be provided with some way to send the photo.

Want to save a bookmark in Safari, tap the Share button...

Etc. etc.

To marksman:

OK, thanks for answering my question. I do use this icon but didn't know that was the button always being referred to. I was actually reading a MacWorld article about finding the print center on iPad iOS 7. It mentioned the "share button" and then the print center. This article was not clear but reading other posts about printing did. But thanks for taking the time to answer my simple question and not make me sound foolish. Vtsue

You probably mean the share button in Facebook. That's not a pure iPad feature!

The reply was to markwmsn, the iPad changed it before I caught it. Sorry
