NAME
        echo - display a line of text
 
SYNOPSIS
        echo [OPTION]... [STRING]...
 
DESCRIPTION
        Echo the STRING(s) to standard output.
 
        -n     do not output the trailing newline
 
        -e     enable   interpretation  of  the  backslash-escaped
               characters listed below
 
        -E     disable  interpretation  of  those   sequences   in
               STRINGs
 
        --help display this help and exit (should be alone)
 
        --version
               output  version  information  and  exit  (should be
               alone)
 
        Without -E, the following  sequences  are  recognized  and
        interpolated:
 
        \NNN   the character whose ASCII code is NNN (octal)
 
        \\     backslash
 
        \a     alert (BEL)
 
        \b     backspace
 
        \c     suppress trailing newline
 
        \f     form feed
 
        \n     new line
 
        \r     carriage return
 
        \t     horizontal tab
 
        \v     vertical tab
