Bash Version: 5.0
Patch Level: 18
Release Status: release
Description:
The echo builtin accepts options, but does not seem to handle
`--` correctly as the end of options. The expected behavior
would be for -- to be removed, and any following flag-like
substrings printed as-is.
Repeat-By:
echo "-n" # "" but expecting "-n"
echo -- -n foo # -- -n foo
echo -- "-n foo" # -- -n foo
- echo builtin doesn't handle end-of-options flag,
