_N_A_M_E
          echo           Echos arguments to standard output.


SYNTAX
          string echo [-n] [_a_r_g_u_m_e_n_t...]


ARGUMENTS
          -n             By default, echo adds a newline.  This
                         option suppresses it.


          _a_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s      Provides the arguments to be printed.


DESCRIPTION
          Prints out the value of the given arguments.  Each of
          the arguments are separated by a space.  The line is
          normally terminated with a newline, but if the -n
          option is specified, multiple echos are printed onto
          the same output line.

          The echo command is used to print out the value of
          variables and expressions in addition to text strings.
          The output from echo can be redirected using the > and
          >> operators.



EXAMPLES
          shell> echo "Running version" $sh_product_version
          Running version v3.0a

          shell> echo -n "Printing to" [expr (3 - 2)] > foo
          shell> echo " line." >> foo
          shell> sh cat foo
          Printing to 1 line.
