Na página bash
man, isso descreve como a divisão de palavras é feita de acordo com o conteúdo da variável IFS
:
Word Splitting
The shell scans the results of parameter expansion, command substitution, and arithmetic expansion that did not occur within double quotes for word splitting.
The shell treats each character of
IFS
as a delimiter, and splits the results of the other expansions into words using these characters as field terminators. IfIFS
is unset, or its value is exactly<space><tab><newline>
, the default, then sequences of<space>
,<tab>
, and<newline>
at the beginning and end of the results of the previous expansions are ignored, and any sequence of IFS characters not at the beginning or end serves to delimit words. IfIFS
has a value other than the default, then sequences of the whitespace characters space and tab are ignored at the beginning and end of the word, as long as the whitespace character is in the value ofIFS
(anIFS
whitespace character). Any character inIFS
that is notIFS
whitespace, along with any adjacentIFS
whitespace characters, delimits a field. A sequence ofIFS
whitespace characters is also treated as a delimiter. If the value ofIFS
is null, no word splitting occurs.Explicit null arguments (
""
or''
) are retained. Unquoted implicit null arguments, resulting from the expansion of parameters that have no values, are removed. If a parameter with no value is expanded within double quotes, a null argument results and is retained.Note that if no expansion occurs, no splitting is performed.

divide a palavra em sua variável se ela não for duplicada, então hello
e world
se tornam dois argumentos diferentes para echo
. echo
coloca um espaço entre os argumentos.
