sh: Remove unused man page for echo builtin.
The information in sh(1) about the echo builtin is equivalent, though less extensive. The echo(1) man page (bin/echo/echo.1) is different. Unfortunately, sh's echo builtin and /bin/echo have gone out of sync and this probably cannot be fixed any more. Reported by: uqs (list of untouched files) MFC after: 1 week

.Dt ECHO 1
|
||||
.Os
|
||||
.Sh NAME
|
||||
.Nm echo
|
||||
.Nd produce message in a shell script
|
||||
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
.Op Fl n | Fl e
|
||||
.Ar args...
|
||||
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
utility prints its arguments on the standard output, separated by spaces.
|
||||
Unless the
|
||||
.Fl n
|
||||
option is present, a newline is output following the arguments.
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Fl e
|
||||
option causes
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
to treat the escape sequences specially, as described in the following
|
||||
paragraph.
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Fl e
|
||||
option is the default, and is provided solely for compatibility with
|
||||
other systems.
|
||||
Only one of the options
|
||||
.Fl n
|
||||
and
|
||||
.Fl e
|
||||
may be given.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
If any of the following sequences of characters is encountered during
|
||||
output, the sequence is not output.
|
||||
Instead, the specified action is
|
||||
performed:
|
||||
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
||||
.It Li \eb
|
||||
A backspace character is output.
|
||||
.It Li \ec
|
||||
Subsequent output is suppressed.
|
||||
This is normally used at the end of the
|
||||
last argument to suppress the trailing newline that
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
would otherwise output.
|
||||
.It Li \ef
|
||||
Output a form feed.
|
||||
.It Li \en
|
||||
Output a newline character.
|
||||
.It Li \er
|
||||
Output a carriage return.
|
||||
.It Li \et
|
||||
Output a (horizontal) tab character.
|
||||
.It Li \ev
|
||||
Output a vertical tab.
|
||||
.It Li \e0 Ns Ar digits
|
||||
Output the character whose value is given by zero to three digits.
|
||||
If there are zero digits, a
|
||||
.Dv NUL
|
||||
character is output.
|
||||
.It Li \e\e
|
||||
Output a backslash.
|
||||
.El
|
||||
.Sh HINTS
|
||||
Remember that backslash is special to the shell and needs to be escaped.
|
||||
To output a message to standard error, say
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
.D1 echo message >&2
|
||||
.Sh BUGS
|
||||
The octal character escape mechanism
|
||||
.Pq Li \e0 Ns Ar digits
|
||||
differs from the
|
||||
C language mechanism.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
There is no way to force
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
to treat its arguments literally, rather than interpreting them as
|
||||
options and escape sequences.
