Synopsis
echo
Description
Determines which commands are echoed, i.e. copied to standard output before execution. The possible settings are:
- NULL
- (or not set at all) In macros, all commands except those built into the command line interpreter are echoed;interactive commands are not echoed.
- off
- Commands are not echoed.
- on
- Both in macros and interactively, all commands except those built into the command line interpreter are echoed.
- large
- Same as on, except that the echo is surrounded by blank lines.
- full
- All commands are echoed, and the corresponding line numbers in macros are given.
- OFF
- Same as off, except that this setting can only be overridden by another value written in capital letters.
- ON
- Same as on, except that this setting can only be overridden by another value written in capital letters.
- LARGE
- Same as large, except that this setting can only be overridden by another value written in capital letters.
- FULL
- Same as full, except that this setting can only be overridden by another value written in capital letters. This setting is particularly useful for debugging macros in which the echo is suppressed.
Labels are not included in the echo, but variable substitutions are. Statements preceded by “@” are only echoed if echo has the value full or FULL.
