https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=229472 Jamie Landeg-Jones <jamie@catflap.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |jamie@catflap.org --- Comment #3 from Jamie Landeg-Jones <jamie@catflap.org> --- Assuming echo(1) refers to /bin/echo - it doesn't support "-e" which is something only the builtin internal "echo" under "sh" supports, and hence it's therefore only documented in the 'sh' manpage, as Rodrigo says. tcsh builtin "echo" supports the same functionality, but by setting the "echo_style" variable as appropriate, rather than using '-e'. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
