## Overview

A Rust reimplementation of Unix Version 7 *yes* program.
- 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.

## Invocation

Following command line options are supported:

* -?  Display help message.
* -n  Suppress adding a \\n to each output line
* positional arguments - User specified string to repeat.
  Because [getopt2](https://crates.io/crates/getopt2) parser is used you can use `--` separator
  for separating arguments from options. This allows use of "-?" and "-n" as strings to print.
* If you use more than one positional argument, they all will be merged together using space as separator.

## MSRV
The minimal supported Rust version **1.56**. The entire *2021 Rust edition* is supported.
