Dear Marek,
In message 56C083E0.1000804@denx.de you wrote:
I always wonder why people go through the efforts to write such long sequences of echo commands.
Why don't you simply use a here document? It is much easier to provide correct formatting there, too.
The original help message was some one-liner, that's why.
That does not explain the issue. Of course "echo" is perfect for a single line, or two. But when someone writes 11 "echo" commands in sequence this is no longer reasonable.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
