/* echo.c - echo supporting -n and -e.

* Copyright 2007 Rob Landley <rob@landley.net>
*
* See http://opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/echo.html
*
* Deviations from posix: we parse command line options, as Linux has
* consistently done since 1992. Posix defaults -e to on, we require -e.
* We also honor -- to _stop_ option parsing (bash doesn't, we go with
* consistency over compatibility here).

usage: echo [-ne] [args...]
Write each argument to stdout, with one space between each, followed
by a newline.
-n No trailing newline.
-e Process the following escape sequences:
\\ backslash
\0NNN octal values (1 to 3 digits)
\a alert (beep/flash)
\b backspace
\c stop output here (avoids trailing newline)
\f form feed
\n newline
\r carriage return
\t horizontal tab
\v vertical tab
\xHH hexadecimal values (1 to 2 digits)
