  Same as `-`.

-n

  Don't end output with a newline.

-p

  Send `string` to the process created by |&, instead of to standard output.

-r

  Ignore the escape sequences often used with echo.

-R

  Same as -r and ignore subsequent options (except -n).

-s

  Send `string` to the history file.

-u[`n`]

  Send `string` to file descriptor `n` (default is 1).
