Echo the Arguments to Standard Output
Usage: echo [-n2h-] [ text ]
Echo the text to standard output (or stderr), substituting for
certain character sequences preceded by the escapesym character.
(The escapesym character is normally '^' but can be changed with
the set command.)
^a Audible Alert (Bell) ^r Carriage Return
^b BackSpace ^t Tab
^f Form Feed ^v Vertical Tab
^n NewLine ^^ Single escapesym
The escapesym character may also be followed with the numeric value
of the intended substitution character where the value is specified
in hex (as an 'x' followed by hex digits) or in octal.
Options:
-n Don't automatically append a Carriage Return/Line Feed
sequence to the end of the output.
-2 Write to stderr instead of stdout.
-h Help. (This screen.)
-- End of options.
(The slash, "/", may be used instead of a minus to introduce
options. To specify a different set of characters to introduce
options, use the SWITCHCHARS environmental variable.)
