In computing, <code>echo</code> is a command in Unix operating systems that outputs the
|
|
strings that are passed to it as arguments.<br>
|
|
|
|
It is a command typically used to output status text to the screen or a
|
|
computer file, or as a source part of a pipeline.<br>
|
|
|
|
To use this simple command just type "echo" with the topic you want to
|
|
print. The computer will return your argument as a string.
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
echo "hello world"
|
|
hello world
|
|
</pre>
