echo - (BSD) echo arguments
/usr/ucb/echo [argument ...]
Echo writes its arguments separated by blanks and terminated by a newline on the standard output.
Echo is useful for producing diagnostics in shell programs and for writing constant data on pipes. To send diagnostics to the standard error file, do `echo ... 1>&2'.
printf(1)
It is recommended for portability that printf(1) is used instead of echo if backslashes are to be printed or if the trailing newline is to be omitted.
