yes(C) 19 June 1992 yes(C) Name yes - print 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. This 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 it pipes to terminates, so that no infinite loop occurs.
