ECHO(1) OpenBSD Reference Manual ECHO(1)NAMEecho - write arguments to the standard output
SYNOPSISecho [-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 ALSOcsh(1), ksh(1), printf(1)STANDARDS
The echo utility is compliant with the IEEE Std 1003.1-2008 (``POSIX'')
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.
