echo command
|
||||
============
|
||||
|
||||
Synopsis
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
echo [-n] [args ...]
|
||||
|
||||
Description
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
The echo command prints its arguments to the console separated by spaces.
|
||||
|
||||
-n
|
||||
Do not print a line feed after the last argument.
|
||||
|
||||
args
|
||||
Arguments to be printed. The arguments are evaluated before being passed to
|
||||
the command.
|
||||
|
||||
Examples
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
Strings are parsed before the arguments are passed to the echo command:
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
=> echo "a" 'b' c
|
||||
a b c
|
||||
=>
|
||||
|
||||
Observe how variables included in strings are handled:
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
=> setenv var X; echo "a)" ${var} 'b)' '${var}' c) ${var}
|
||||
a) X b) ${var} c) X
|
||||
=>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
-n suppresses the line feed:
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
=> echo -n 1 2 3; echo a b c
|
||||
1 2 3a b c
|
||||
=> echo -n 1 2 3
|
||||
1 2 3=>
|
||||
|
||||
A more complex example:
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
=> for i in a b c; do for j in 1 2 3; do echo -n "${i}${j}, "; done; echo; done;
|
||||
a1, a2, a3,
|
||||
b1, b2, b3,
|
||||
c1, c2, c3,
|
||||
=>
|
||||
|
||||
Return value
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
The return value $? is always set to 0 (true).
