SYNOPSIS
       echo [SHORT-OPTION]... [STRING]...
       echo LONG-OPTION

       If -e is in effect, the following sequences are recognized:

       \\     backslash

       \a     alert (BEL)

       \b     backspace

       \c     produce no further output

       \e     escape

       \f     form feed

       \n     new line

       \r     carriage return

       \t     horizontal tab

       \v     vertical tab

       \0NNN  byte with octal value NNN (1 to 3 digits)

       \xHH   byte with hexadecimal value HH (1 to 2 digits)

       Your shell may have its own version of echo, which usually supersedes
       the version described here.  Please refer to your shell's documentation
       for details about the options it supports.

       Consider using the printf(1) command instead, as it avoids problems
       when outputting option-like strings.
