NAME
echo —
write arguments to the standard

SYNOPSIS
echo |
[-n] [string ...] |
DESCRIPTION
The echo utility writes any specified
operands, separated by single blank (‘ ’) characters
and followed by a newline (‘\n’) character, to the standard
output. When no operands are given, only the newline is written.
The options are as follows:
-n- Do not print the trailing newline character.
EXIT STATUS
The echo utility exits 0 on
success, and >0 if an error occurs.
SEE ALSO
STANDARDS
The echo utility is compliant with the
IEEE Std 1003.1-2008 (“POSIX.1”)
specification.
The flag [-n] is an extension to that
specification.
echo also exists as a built-in to
csh(1) and ksh(1), though with a different syntax.
