       NOTE:  your shell may have its own version of echo, which usually
       supersedes the version described  here.   Please  refer  to  your
       shell's documentation for details about the options it supports.

       NOTE:  printf(1)  is a preferred alternative, which does not have
       issues outputting option-like strings.
