How can I output a multipline string in Bash without using multiple echo calls

  • 0

How can I output a multipline string in Bash without using multiple echo calls like so:

echo "usage: up [--level <n>| -n <levels>][--help][--version]"
echo 
echo "Report bugs to: "
echo "up home page: "

I’m looking for a portable way to do this, using only Bash builtins.

    Here documents are often used for this purpose.

    cat << EOF
    usage: up [--level <n>| -n <levels>][--help][--version]
    
    Report bugs to: 
    up home page:
    EOF
    

    They are supported in all Bourne-derived shells including all versions of Bash.
