Synopsis:
|
||||
echo [<anything>]
|
||||
|
||||
Description:
|
||||
This command prints its arguments back to the screen. That's it. It
|
||||
is useful for printing status messages from inside scripts, or inside
|
||||
hooks for redefining server messages.
|
||||
|
||||
The ECHO command is also the only command (one of two, actually; see
|
||||
XECHO) that can write to the screen when DISPLAY is off. ECHO now
|
||||
has no length limitation, it can display any string within the confines
|
||||
of memory.
|
||||
|
||||
See Also:
|
||||
eval(5); set(4) display, input_aliases; xecho(5)
|
||||
|
||||
Other Notes:
|
||||
ECHO will not normally expand variables unless it is used inside an
|
||||
alias. To force expansion, use EVAL or set INPUT_ALIASES on. This is
|
||||
not a bug, it is an intentional feature common to all commands.
