It is printing --help That means you aren't testing coreutils' echo. Try 'env echo --help' or '/bin/echo --help'.

So I am little bit lost here. How to use the echo > options? One other thing: POSIX itself says that echo's options are inherently non-portable. If you are trying to use 'echo -n' or 'echo -e', you should REALLY consider rewriting your script to use printf(1) instead, because then you won't run into portability nightmares when your script is run on a different platform (this is true whether you use the shell's builtin echo, or whether you use 'env echo' to bypass the shell builtin and get whatever is installed on PATH). --=20 Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org ------enig2CMUOTDHXTQMPDLLVRPHU Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.13 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Public key at http://people.redhat.com/eblake/eblake.gpg Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJRiwnXAAoJEKeha0olJ0NqbycH/jE0ngQXWaPSIgoy9n9UfUVI 0+fdKOMfp/4xcZCGjJ+IquNLlHrpY2zrJM9hZYtmk0fG28dp6VQOVjYzqguUwjXL XVTgx4ddFjYsaJYJE+WYUV/Jd53h4+2O/iABN/4FYp1akOBlmUO0q8jZ0MaSSnBG BoyZpTUwv6oaynuIEVbAvMFXk9DvOLXnZISKpxwzz/sBv0FvNIl/9ME20Q4PndRq JHit6RqfJSmhVnT/J6qvYyBt9URCnwxMXQ375pZo6ma/1aLQ2ofQQCdOMju6Ly91 qkjiGGXGULzvvEct8RAQn3b56uJgQ9riWEP0uHg4Ut1CJDhGe8sCL/vUImMHfUU= =z1XB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------enig2CMUOTDHXTQMPDLLVRPHU-- From unknown Wed Jun 18 23:06:15 2025 Received: (at fakecontrol) by fakecontrolmessage; To: internal_control@debbugs.gnu.org From: Debbugs Internal Request Subject: Internal Control Message-Id: bug archived.
