LESSECHO(O)                                           LESSECHO(O)



NAME
       lessecho  -  expand  metacharacters,  such  as * and ?, in
       filenames on Unix systems.

SYNOPSIS
       lessecho [-ox] [-cx] [-pn] [-dn] [-a] file ...

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page documents briefly the  lessecho  command.
       This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux dis-
       tribution because the original program  does  not  have  a
       manual page.

       lessecho is a program that simply echos its filename argu-
       ments on standard  output.  But  any  argument  containing
       spaces is enclosed in quotes.

OPTIONS
       A summary of options are included below.

       -ox    Specifies "x" to be the open quote character.

       -cx    Specifies "x" to be the close quote character.

       -pn    Specifies "n" to be the open quote character, as an
              integer.

       -dn    Specifies "n" to be the close quote  character,  as
              an integer.

       -a     Specifies  that all arguments are to be quoted. The
              default is that only  arguments  containing  spaces
              are quoted.
