40 ;; There are very few basic Eshell commands -- so-called builtins.
41 ;; They are: echo, umask, and version.
45 ;; The `echo' command repeats its arguments to the screen. It is
46 ;; optional whether this is done in a Lisp-friendly fashion (so that
47 ;; the value of echo is useful to a Lisp command using the result of
48 ;; echo as an argument), or whether it should try to act like a normal
49 ;; shell echo, and always result in a flat string being returned.

53 This comes at some detriment to Lisp functionality. However, the Lisp
54 equivalent of `echo' can always be achieved by using `identity'."
59 ;; An example of the difference is the following:
63 ;; If `eshell-plain-echo-behavior' is non-nil, this will yield the
64 ;; string "Hello world". If Lisp behavior is enabled, however, it
65 ;; will yield a list whose two elements are the strings "Hello" and
66 ;; "world". The way to write an equivalent expression for both would
71 ;; This always returns a single string.
75 ;; The umask command changes the default file permissions for newly
76 ;; created files. It uses the same syntax as bash.

81 ;; dependent module, including the date when those modules were last
