In case anybody is wondering why I'm picking on /usr/bin/yes, here's the
(minus useless header info) BSD source code to /usr/bin/yes.  I'm not
sure what the GNU version looks like but I'd be shocked if it was much
bigger.

#include <stdio.h>

int
main(argc, argv)
        int argc;
        char **argv;
{
        if (argc > 1)
                for(;;)
                        puts(argv[1]);
        else for (;;)
                puts("y");
}
