YES(1) Minix Programmer's Manual YES(1)
NAME
yes - an endless stream of the same word
SYNOPSIS
yes [answer]
EXAMPLES
yes | script # Answer yes to all questions from the script
DESCRIPTION
Yes sends out an endless stream of y's, each on one line. One uses it to
automatically say "yes" to all questions a command may ask. This is
useful for commands that ask too many "Are you sure?" questions. The
optional argument makes yes use answer as the word to print instead of a
single y character.
