just for the sake of being pedantic:
echois actually a program (just likels)cdthough is indeed a command. And I agree with your last statement.echois a program, but some shells like Bash and zsh also have a built-inecho. You can runtype echoto verify that.whelp... i tried to be pedantic and then got schooled. Thanks :D
In Bash
echois a builtin command. The external indipendent/usr/bin/echois only used by non Bash shells.whelp... i tried to be pedantic and then got schooled. Thanks :D
Well, you was not wrong though. Because it is both. I just forgot it, so you schooled me too. :-) We can have it all! :D
very sympathetic of you <3
