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 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.
