Gladly. In a Linux console or xterm, you can
gnu-bash $ echo \\ec
will clear the screen
That's bash behavior, not coreutils echo behavior.
busybox $ echo \\ec
will output "\ec" on the next line
any-shell-on-gnu-coreutils-system $ /bin/echo \\ec
does what Busybox does
The FSF is not tremendously consistent across equivalent utilities; they
own the copyrights to bash's echo and coreutils's echo, yet they behave
differently.
There are parallels in gcc's c compiler.
Thanks!
