SYNOPSIS

       echo [OPTION]... [STRING]...


DESCRIPTION

       NOTE:  your  shell  may have its own version of echo which
       will supercede the version described here. Please refer to
       your  shell's  documentation for details about the options
       it supports.

       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

       --version
              output version information and exit

       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
