string-repeat - multiply a string¶
Synopsis¶
string repeat [(-n | --count) COUNT] [(-m | --max) MAX] [(-N | --no-newline)] [(-q | --quiet)] [STRING...]
Description¶
string repeat
repeats the STRING -n
or --count
times. The -m
or --max
option will limit the number of outputted char (excluding the newline). This option can be used by itself or in conjunction with --count
. If both --count
and --max
are present, max char will be outputed unless the final repeated string size is less than max, in that case, the string will repeat until count has been reached. Both --count
and --max
will accept a number greater than or equal to zero, in the case of zero, nothing will be outputed. If -N
or --no-newline
is given, the output won't contain a newline character at the end. Exit status: 0 if yielded string is not empty, 1 otherwise.
