lessecho − expand metacharacters
lessecho [-ox] [-cx] [-pn] [-dn] [-mx] [-nn] [-ex] [-a] file ...
lessecho is a program that simply echos its arguments on standard output. But any metacharacter in the output is preceded by an "escape" character, which by default is a backslash.
A summary of options is included below.
|
−ex |
Specifies "x", rather than backslash, to be the escape char for metachars. If x is "-", no escape char is used and arguments containing metachars are surrounded by quotes instead. | ||
|
−ox |
Specifies "x", rather than double-quote, to be the open quote character, which is used if the −e- option is specified. | ||
|
−cx |
Specifies "x" to be the close quote character. | ||
|
−pn |
Specifies "n" to be the open quote character, as an integer. | ||
|
−dn |
Specifies "n" to be the close quote character, as an integer. | ||
|
−mx |
Specifies "x" to be a metachar. By default, no characters are considered metachars. | ||
|
−nn |
Specifies "n" to be a metachar, as an integer. | ||
|
−fn |
Specifies "n" to be the escape char for metachars, as an integer. | ||
|
−a |
Specifies that all arguments are to be quoted. The default is that only arguments containing metacharacters are quoted. |
