+.Sh NAME
+.Nm echo
+.Nd write arguments to the standard output
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm
+.Op Fl n
+.Op Ar string ...
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+utility writes any specified operands, separated by single blank
+.Pq Ql "\ "
+characters and followed by a newline
+.Pq Ql \en
+character, to the standard
+output.
+.Pp
+The following option is available:
+.Bl -tag -width flag
+.It Fl n
+Do not print the trailing newline character.
+This may also be achieved by appending
+.Ql \ec
+to the end of the string, as is done
+by iBCS2 compatible systems.
+Note that this option as well as the effect of
+.Ql \ec
+are implementation-defined in
+.St -p1003.1-2001
+as amended by Cor.\& 1-2002.
+Applications aiming for maximum
+portability are strongly encouraged to use
+.Xr printf 1
+to suppress the newline character.
+.El
+.Pp
+Some shells may provide a builtin
+.Nm
+command which is similar or identical to this utility.
+.\" 4874742
+Most notably, the builtin
+.Nm
+in
+.Xr sh 1
+does not accept the
+.Fl n
+option.

+.Xr builtin 1
+manual page.
