NAME

echo — write arguments to standard output

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

echo buffers all string together with a final newline and then does a single write to standard output. If there is no string, only the newline is written.

The -- operand, which generally terminates option processing, is treated as part of string.

OPTIONS

-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

printf(1)

STANDARDS

Not XSI-compliant as -n is parsed as an option and backslash operators aren't supported. Should be compliant with the rest of the IEEE Std 1003.1-2024 (“POSIX.1”) specification.
