echo for core

Returns its arguments, ignoring the piped-in value.

Signature

> echo {flags} ...rest

Parameters

  • ...rest: the values to echo

Input/output types:

inputoutput
nothingany

Examples

Put a list of numbers in the pipeline. This is the same as [1 2 3].

> echo 1 2 3
╭───┬───╮
 0  1 
 1  2 
 2  3 
╰───┴───╯

Returns the piped-in value, by using the special $in variable to obtain it.

> echo $in

Notes

When given no arguments, it returns an empty string. When given one argument, it returns it. Otherwise, it returns a list of the arguments. There is usually little reason to use this over just writing the values as-is.
