## In POSIX sh, echo flags are undefined.
|
||||
|
||||
### Problematic code:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
#!/bin/sh
|
||||
echo -ne 'Foo:\tBar'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Correct code:
|
||||
|
||||
Rewrite in terms of the more robust and standardized `printf`:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
#!/bin/sh
|
||||
printf 'Foo:\tBar'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Rationale:
|
||||
|
||||
`echo` has historically behaved differently on different systems. Use `printf` instead to ensure compatibility between shells.
|
||||
|
||||
### Exceptions:
|
||||
|
||||
If you only intend to target shells that supports this feature, you can change
|
||||
the shebang to a shell that guarantees support, or [[ignore]] this warning.
|
||||
|
||||
You can use `# shellcheck disable=SC3000-SC4000` to ignore all such compatibility
|
||||
warnings.
