DESCRIPTION

This documentation is no longer being maintained and may be inaccurate or incomplete. The Texinfo documentation is now the authoritative source.

echo writes each given string to the standard output, with a space between them and a newline after the last one.

OPTIONS

−n

Do not output the trailing newline.

−e

Enable interpretation of the following backslash-escaped characters in the strings:

\a

alert (bell)

\b

backspace

\c

suppress trailing newline

\f

form feed

\n

new line

\r

carriage return

\t

horizontal tab

\v

vertical tab

\\

backslash

\nnn

the character whose ASCII code is nnn (octal)

OPTIONS
When GNU echo is invoked with exactly one argument, the following options are recognized:

−−help

Print a usage message on standard output and exit successfully.

−−version

Print version information on standard output then exit successfully.
