NAME 🖥️ lessecho 🖥️

expand metacharacters

SYNOPSIS

lessecho [-ox] [-cx] [-pn] [-dn] [-mx] [-nn] [-ex] [-a] file …

DESCRIPTION

lessecho is a program that simply echos its arguments on standard output. But any metacharacter in the output is preceded by an “escape” character, which by default is a backslash.

OPTIONS

A summary of options is included below.

-ex
Specifies “x”, rather than backslash, to be the escape char for metachars. If x is “-”, no escape char is used and arguments containing metachars are surrounded by quotes instead.

-ox
Specifies “x”, rather than double-quote, to be the open quote character, which is used if the -e- option is specified.

-cx
Specifies “x” to be the close quote character.

-pn
Specifies “n” to be the open quote character, as an integer.

-dn
Specifies “n” to be the close quote character, as an integer.

-mx
Specifies “x” to be a metachar. By default, no characters are considered metachars.

-nn
Specifies “n” to be a metachar, as an integer.

-fn
Specifies “n” to be the escape char for metachars, as an integer.

-a
Specifies that all arguments are to be quoted. The default is that only arguments containing metacharacters are quoted.
