     YES(C)                                     UNIX System V



     Name
          yes - prints string repeatedly


     Syntax
          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.  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 it
          pipes to terminates, so that no infinite loop occurs.
