string-repeat - multiply a string ================================= Synopsis -------- .. BEGIN SYNOPSIS :: string repeat [(-n | --count) COUNT] [(-m | --max) MAX] [(-N | --no-newline)] [(-q | --quiet)] [STRING...] .. END SYNOPSIS Description ----------- .. BEGIN 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. .. END DESCRIPTION Examples -------- ..
