ECHO(C)                  XENIX System V                   ECHO(C)



     Name
          echo - Echoes arguments.

     Syntax
          echo [ arg ] ...
          /bin/echo [ arg ] ...

     Description
          echo writes its arguments separated by blanks and terminated
          by a newline on the standard output.  echo also understands
          C-like escape conventions.  The following escape sequences
          need to be quoted so that the shell interprets them
          correctly:
          \b   Backspace
          \c   Prints line without newline
          \f   Form feed
          \n   Newline
          \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 must start with a zero
          echo is useful for producing diagnostics in command files
          and for sending known data into a pipe.

     Notes
          The csh(C) has a built-in echo utility which has a different
          syntax than this echo.  Be aware that users running under
          csh will get the built-in echo unless they specify /bin/echo
          .
