yes - Generates repetitive output

Overview

• Program yes sends infinite, repetitive string output to stdout.
• The default output is 'y' for the yes variant and 'n' for the no variant.
• A user can supply own string to repeat.
• Newline is added. CRLF on Windows, LF on other systems.
• -n switch suppresses appending LF.
• For performace reasons the string is first repeated into an 8K buffer, and then the buffer is sent to stdout.
