Check the printf-based solution from Gordon Davidson. Despite being in the shadow of the echo or cat based approaches, it seems to be much less of a kludge. Admittedly the `printf' syntax represent a bit of a learning curve, but I'd like to ear of other drawbacks (? compatibility, performance ? ...)

@MarkReed The usage message is output by typing --help (which should go to standard out).

If you're outputting a usage message in response to an incorrect invocation, you would normally send that message to standard error instead of standard output, with echo >&2 ...
