echo Command Generator
Generate echo commands to display a line of text
Getting Started with echo
## What is echo?
`echo` writes its arguments to standard output, followed by a newline. It's the simplest way to print text, build strings for pipelines, or emit ANSI color codes.
## How to Use
1. **Enter Text**: Type the text to print. 2. **Set Options** (optional): `-n` to drop the trailing newline, `-e` to interpret backslash escapes. 3. **Copy & Run**: Copy the generated command into your terminal.
Flags and Escapes
### `-n` No newline Do not output the trailing newline. Useful when building prompts or piping partial lines.
### `-e` Interpret escapes Enable interpretation of backslash escape sequences such as `\\n` (newline), `\\t` (tab), `\\\\` (backslash), and `\\c` (suppress trailing newline). Useful for multi-line output or ANSI colors.
### `-E` Disable escapes Explicitly disable escape interpretation (the default on most systems).
### Portability note Escape-flag behavior differs between shells (dash, bash, zsh). For non-trivial formatting, prefer `printf`.
