      NAME
           echo - echo arguments

      SYNTAX
           echo [-n] [ arg ] ...

      DESCRIPTION
           Echo writes all args, separated by blanks, on the standard
           output.  Normally, a newline character is output after the
           args.

           -n   specifies to omit the trailing newline character.  This
                option works only for /bin/echo, and not for the shell
                version of echo.

           Echo also understands C-like escape conventions; beware of
           conflicts with the shell's use of \:

                \b   backspace
                \c   print line without new-line
                \f   form-feed
                \n   new-line
                \r   carriage return (but no newline)
                \t   tab
                \\   backslash
                \n   the 8-bit character whose ASCII code is the 1-, 2-
                     or 3-digit octal number n, which must start with a
                     zero.

           Echo is useful for producing diagnostics in command files.
