yes(1)         UNIX System V(Application Compatibility Package)          yes(1)


NAME
      yes - print string repeatedly

SYNOPSIS
      yes [string]

DESCRIPTION
      yes repeatedly outputs ``y'', or if a single string argument is given,
      string is output repeatedly.  The command continues 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.
