echo(1B)					     SunOS/BSD Compatibility Package Commands						  echo(1B)

NAME

       echo - echo arguments to standard output

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/ucb/echo [-n] [argument]

DESCRIPTION

       echo writes its arguments, separated by BLANKs and terminated by a NEWLINE, to the standard output.

       echo  is useful for producing diagnostics in command files and for sending known data into a pipe, and for displaying the contents of envi-
       ronment variables.

       For example, you can use echo to determine how many subdirectories below the root directory (/) is your current directory, as follows:

	   o	  echo your current-working-directory's full pathname

	   o	  pipe the output through tr to translate the path's embedded slash-characters into space-characters

	   o	  pipe that output through wc -w for a count of the names in your path.

		    example% /usr/bin/echo "echo $PWD | tr '/' ' ' | wc -w"

       See tr(1) and wc(1) for their functionality.

       The shells csh(1), ksh(1), and sh(1), each have an echo built-in command, which, by default, will have precedence, and will be  invoked	if
       the  user  calls  echo without a full pathname. /usr/ucb/echo and csh's echo() have an -n option, but do not understand back-slashed escape
       characters. sh's echo(), ksh's echo(), and /usr/bin/echo, on the other hand, understand the  black-slashed  escape  characters,	and  ksh's
       echo() also understands a as the audible bell character; however, these commands do not have an -n option.

OPTIONS

       -n    Do not add the NEWLINE to the output.

NOTES

       The -n option is a transition aid for BSD applications, and may not be supported in future  releases.
