  22 ;;; Commentary:
  23
  24 ;; There are very few basic Eshell commands -- so-called builtins.
  25 ;; They are: echo, umask, and version.
  26 ;;
  27 ;;;_* `echo'
  28 ;;
  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.
  34
  35 ;; An example of the difference is the following:
  36 ;;
  37 ;;   echo Hello world
  38 ;;
  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
  43 ;; be:
  44 ;;
  45 ;;   echo "Hello world"
  46 ;;
  47 ;; This always returns a single string.
  48 ;;
  49 ;;;_* `umask'
  50 ;;
  51 ;; The umask command changes the default file permissions for newly
  52 ;; created files.  It uses the same syntax as bash.
  53 ;;
  54 ;;;_* `version'
  55 ;;
  56 ;; This command reports the version number for Eshell and all its
  57 ;; dependent module, including the date when those modules were last
  58 ;; modified.
