yes(1XNX) (XENIX System Compatibility) yes(1XNX)
NAME
yes - (XENIX) 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.
