Bug ID: 229472
Summary: man echo misses -e option
Product: Documentation
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---

Aloha,
man echo does not document the "-e" option.
This option will for example convert an "\n" into a real new line. Example:
$ echo "muff\nmuff"
muff\nmuff
$ echo -e "muff\nmuff"
muff
muff
This works for other control chars too.
I stumbled across this by accident.
Greetings,
Torsten
