echo

echo

The echo(1) command displays the specified text on the screen. You specify the string to display after the echo command. By default echo will display the string and print a newline character after it. You can pass the -n option to suppress the printing of the newline. The -e option will cause echo to search for escape characters in the string and execute them.
