## In Dash, echo flags besides -n are not supported.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Problematic code:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
#!/bin/dash
|
||||||
|
echo -e "Name:\t$USER"
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Correct code:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
#!/bin/dash
|
||||||
|
printf 'Name:\t%s\n' "$USER"
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Rationale:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Your script uses a shell feature not supported by the shebang. Either rewrite the script to be portable, or change the shebang to explicitly require a shell like Bash.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In this case, you can rewrite your use of `echo` using `printf`, which behaves the same across shells.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Exceptions:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
None
