echo

Display message on screen.

SYNTAX
      echo [-n] [string ...]

Options
       -n   Do not print the trailing newline character. This may also be
            achieved by appending `\c' to the end of the string, as is done by
            iBCS2 compatible systems.

To produce a default beep:

echo '^G^G^G^G'

where you get the literal ^G characters (which represent ASCII 7, the BEL character) by typing "ctrl-v ctrl-g".

The echo utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
