          YES(1)               INTERACTIVE UNIX System               YES(1)



          NAME
               yes - repeatedly print string

          SYNOPSIS
               yes [ string ]

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