The "No" core-(f)utility and the Impossible Refusal - Unofficial GNU core (f)utility pack

[What is this?]

This is an unofficial GNU coreutils pack that contains the core(f)utility "no"

PROGRAM NAME: "No"

REPEAT

    print "n" + carriage return;

UNTIL the program is terminated

END

The above program "No" prints an endless sequence of "n" - one per line - until the user terminates the program. Then, it is recalled in the computer's shell by typing "no" and pressing "Enter".

The "no" core(f)util outputs repeatedly your wish for refusal and presents to you its absurdity and (f)utility.

....the official set of GNU core utilities includes a "yes" command. But not a "no". Thus, the oreutils "no" fills this gap. (You are welcome!)... well, this is not the whole story. To get the full picture, install this (f)utility and read the manifesto on the "man no" page
