# The `yes` command
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The `yes` command in linux is used to print a continuous output stream of given _STRING_. If _STRING_ is not mentioned then it prints ‘y’. It outputs a string repeatedly unit killed (using something like ctrl + c).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Examples :
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1. Prints hello world infinitely in the terminal until killed :
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
yes hello world
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
2. A more generalized command:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
yes [STRING]
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
