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