NAME

echo − echo arguments

SYNOPSIS

echo [ −n ] [ argument ... ]

DESCRIPTION

Echo writes its arguments on the standard output.  Arguments must be separated by spaces or tabs, and terminated by a newline. 

Echo is useful for producing diagnostics in shell programs and for writing constant data on pipes.  If you are using the Bourne Shell (sh(1)), you can send diagnostics to the standard error file by typing: ‘echo ... 1>&2’. 

OPTIONS

−nDon’t add the newline to the output.
