I am on dash version 0.5.8.2 on Gentoo Linux (USE=libedit -static).
The echo builtin does not work as described. In the man page:
echo [-n] args...
Print the arguments on the standard output, separated by spaces.
Unless the -n option is present, a newline is output following the
arguments.
However, in actual usage:
% dash
$ echo testing
testing
$ echo -n testing
- -n testing
$ /bin/echo -n testing
testing$
This is causing me problems when I attempt to switch /bin/sh from bash
to dash.
