ECHO(1)         DOMAIN/IX Reference Manual (SYS5)         ECHO(1)



NAME
     echo - echo arguments

USAGE
     echo [ argument ] ...

DESCRIPTION
     Echo writes each argument, separated by blanks and ter-
     minated by a newline, on the standard output.  It also
     understands C-like escape conventions.  Beware of conflicts
     with the Shell's use of the slash character (\):

          \b   backspace
          \c   print line without new-line
          \f   form-feed
          \n   new-line
          \r   carriage return
          \t   tab
          \v   vertical tab
          \\   backslash
          \n   the 8-bit character whose ASCII code is the 1-, 2-
               or 3-digit octal number n, which must start with a
               zero.

     Echo is used to produce diagnostics in command files and for
     sending known data into a pipe.
