NAME
     eecchhoo - write arguments to the standard output

SYNOPSIS
     eecchhoo [-nn] [string ...]

DESCRIPTION
     The eecchhoo utility writes any specified operands, separated by single blank
     (` ') characters and followed by a newline (`\n') character, to the stan-
     dard output.

     The following option is available:

     -nn    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.

     Some shells may provide a builtin eecchhoo command which is similar or iden-
     tical to this utility.  Consult the builtin(1) manual page.

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

     ble.
