    _\bE_\bc_\bh_\bo writes its arguments separated by blanks and terminated
    by a newline on the standard output.  If the flag -\b-n\bn is
    used, no newline is added to the output.

    _\bE_\bc_\bh_\bo is useful for producing diagnostics in shell programs
    and for writing constant data on pipes.  To send diagnostics
    to the standard error file, do `echo ... 1>&2'.
