# Saying Yes
|
|
|
|
Tired of being prompted for confirmation by command-line utilities? Wish you
|
|
could blindly respond 'yes' to whatever it is they are bugging you about?
|
|
The `yes` command is what you've been looking for.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ yes | rm -r ~/some/dir
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will respond `y` as `rm` asks for confirmation on removing each and
|
|
every file in that directory.
|
|
|
|
`yes` is just as good at saying *no*. Give it `no` as an argument and it
|
|
will happily (and endlessly) print `no`.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ yes no
|
|
```
