non

non (from Latin non — not/no) repeatedly outputs a string until terminated. It is the core Vesper Linux alternative to GNU yes.

When no arguments are provided, non defaults to outputting n. If invoked through the standard yes symlink, it prints y instead to preserve shell script compatibility.

Usage

non [STRING...]
yes [STRING...]

Flags
