YES(1)

💅 YES(1) — okay bestie, it's yes from User Contributed Perl Documentation 💅

okay so this is the manual page for yes, and it's giving tiny command, infinite output, main character energy ✨. It's a User Contributed Perl Documentation page. Literally iconic. Let's get into it 🫶.

🌸 NAME 🌸

yes — print out a string till doomsday. That's it. That's the whole vibe. 💀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

yes [string]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

yes repeatedly prints out its argument on standard output, until killed. It keeps going, and going, and going — no cap. If no string is given, y is printed. Slay. 🍓

🎀 ENVIRONMENT 🎀

The working of yes is not influenced by any environment variables. Zero. Nada. It does not care about your env, bestie. 🙈

💀 BUGS 💀

yes has no known bugs. Not me saying the most blessed thing ever, but there it is. 👑
