echo0(1)               DragonFly General Commands Manual              echo0(1)

NAME
       echo0 - print arguments to stdout, separated by 0-byte

SYNOPSIS
       echo0 [ args ]

DESCRIPTION
       echo0 prints its command line arguments to stdout, like echo. However,
       echo0 puts a zero-byte after each argument, including the last one, and
       does not print a final newline.

       This can be used to print arguments containing spaces, newlines, etc.,
       in a way which will prevent improper interpretation of those
       characters.  The output of echo0 is suitable for input into things like
       perl -0, xargs -0, or tar --null.  The -print0 argument to find
       produces output in the same format.

OPTIONS
       None.
