[1mDESCRIPTION[0m
|
||
[4mlessecho[24m is a program that simply echos its arguments on standard out-
|
||
put. But any metacharacter in the output is preceded by an "escape"
|
||
character, which by default is a backslash.
|
||
|
||
[1mOPTIONS[0m
|
||
A summary of options is included below.
|
||
|
||
[1m-ex [22mSpecifies "x", rather than backslash, to be the escape char for
|
||
metachars. If x is "-", no escape char is used and arguments
|
||
containing metachars are surrounded by quotes instead.
|
||
|
||
[1m-ox [22mSpecifies "x", rather than double-quote, to be the open quote
|
||
character, which is used if the -e- option is specified.
|
||
|
||
[1m-cx [22mSpecifies "x" to be the close quote character.
|
||
|
||
[1m-pn [22mSpecifies "n" to be the open quote character, as an integer.
|
||
|
||
[1m-dn [22mSpecifies "n" to be the close quote character, as an integer.
|
||
|
||
[1m-mx [22mSpecifies "x" to be a metachar. By default, no characters are
|
||
considered metachars.
|
||
|
||
[1m-nn [22mSpecifies "n" to be a metachar, as an integer.
|
||
|
||
[1m-fn [22mSpecifies "n" to be the escape char for metachars, as an inte-
|
||
ger.
|
||
|
||
[1m-a [22mSpecifies that all arguments are to be quoted. The default is
|
||
that only arguments containing metacharacters are quoted
