NAME
echo - echo arguments
SYNOPSIS
echo [ -n ] [ -e ] [ arg ] ...
DESCRIPTION
Echo writes its arguments separated by blanks and terminated by a new‐
line 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 output.
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'.
