=============================

echo - Display a line of text on the screen

Summary: 

Echo is used to show a line of text on the screen with limited Esc

Example:

$ echo  -- Display a empty line

$ echo $HOME -- Display the env variable value.

$ echo -n "No new line" -- Display with-out trailing newline.

$ echo "Bharathi\nILUGC" -- Display the line, as it is.

$ echo -e "Bharathi\n\tILUGC" -- Interpret and show the line

$ echo -e "\033[1;34m ILUGC \033[0m" -- Display with color.
