23 ;;; Commentary:
24
25 ;; There are very few basic Eshell commands -- so-called builtins.
26 ;; They are: echo, umask, and version.
27 ;;
28 ;;;_* `echo'
29 ;;
30 ;; The `echo' command repeats its arguments to the screen. It is
31 ;; optional whether this is done in a Lisp-friendly fashion (so that
32 ;; the value of echo is useful to a Lisp command using the result of
33 ;; echo as an argument), or whether it should try to act like a normal
34 ;; shell echo, and always result in a flat string being returned.
35
36 ;; An example of the difference is the following:
37 ;;
38 ;; echo Hello world
39 ;;
40 ;; If `eshell-plain-echo-behavior' is non-nil, this will yield the
41 ;; string "Hello world". If Lisp behavior is enabled, however, it
42 ;; will yield a list whose two elements are the strings "Hello" and
43 ;; "world". The way to write an equivalent expression for both would
44 ;; be:
45 ;;
46 ;; echo "Hello world"
47 ;;
48 ;; This always returns a single string.
49 ;;
50 ;;;_* `umask'
51 ;;
52 ;; The umask command changes the default file permissions for newly
53 ;; created files. It uses the same syntax as bash.
54 ;;
55 ;;;_* `version'
56 ;;
57 ;; This command reports the version number for Eshell and all its
58 ;; dependent module, including the date when those modules were last
59 ;; modified.
