echo(1) MPE/iX Shell and Utilities echo(1)

Messages

Because this utility is built into the MPE/iX Shell, see the sh(1) man page for a complete list of

error messages that you may receive when using it.

PORTABILITY

POSIX.2. x/OPEN

Portability Guide 4.0. UNIX System V.

The POSIX.2 standard does not include the escape sequences, so a strictly conforming applica-

tion cannot use them. printf is suggested as a replacement.

On older

UNIX systems, the backslash escape sequences are not available; the –n option is

equivalent to \c embedded in an argument.

NOTE

echo is provided as both an external utility and as a built-in shell utility.

MPE/iX NOTES
