$BUILTIN echo
$FUNCTION echo_builtin
$DEPENDS_ON V9_ECHO
$SHORT_DOC echo [-neE] [arg ...]
Display the ARGs on the standard output followed by a newline.

Options:
  -n	do not append a newline
  -e	enable interpretation of the following backslash escapes
  -E	explicitly suppress interpretation of backslash escapes

`echo' interprets the following backslash-escaped characters:
  \a	alert (bell)
  \b	backspace
  \c	suppress trailing newline
  \e	escape character
  \f	form feed
  \n	new line
  \r	carriage return
  \t	horizontal tab
  \v	vertical tab
  \\	backslash
  \0nnn	the character whose ASCII code is NNN (octal).  NNN can be
	0 to 3 octal digits
  \xHH	the eight-bit character whose value is HH (hexadecimal).  HH
	can be one or two hex digits
