YES(C) XENIX System V YES(C)
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.
