yes(1) (XENIX Compatibility Package) yes(1)
NAME
yes - Prints string repeatedly
SYNOPSIS
yes[string]
DESCRIPTION
yes repeatedly outputs ``y'', or if a single string argument is
given, arg is output repeatedly. The command will continue
indefinitely unless aborted. yes is useful in pipes to commands that
prompt for input and require a ``y'' response for a yes. In this
case, yes terminates when the command that it pipes to terminates so
that no infinite loop occurs.
