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 distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

lessecho is a program that simply echos its filename arguments 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.
