.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fIYes\fP 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 \fIyes\fP use \fIanswer\fP as the word to
|
|
print instead of a single y character.
