ECHO(1) ECHO(1)
NAME
echo - echo arguments
SYNOPSIS
echo [ -n ] [ -e ] [ arg ] ...
DESCRIPTION
Echo writes its arguments separated by blanks and terminated
by a newline on the standard output. Option -n suppresses
the newline.
Option -e enables the interpretation of C-style escape
codes, \b, \f, \n, \r, \t, \\, and \ddd, where d is an octal
digit, plus the special code \c, which terminates the out-
put.
Echo is useful for producing diagnostics in shell programs
and for writing constant data on pipes. To send diagnostics
to the standard error file, do `echo ... 1>&2'.
