Command: echo (config.sys command)

ECHO displays messages. There also exists a BATCH-FILE/AUTOEXEC.BAT/COMMAND.COM version. ECHO is a CONFIG.SYS / FDCONFIG.SYS command.

Syntax:

ECHO [message]

Options:

message The message you want to be displayed to the user.

Comments:

ECHO displays (echos) its arguments to the console during CONFIG.SYS / FDCONFIG.SYS processing when device drivers are loaded (when DEVICE= lines are executed). ECHO is a command internal to kernel.sys and needs no other file in order to work. There also exists a command.com ECHO command with different options.

Examples:

IN CONFIG.SYS / FDCONFIG.SYS: ECHO loading driver1 device=Driver1.sys ECHO driver1 successfully loaded
