REPEAT(1)              UNIX User's Manual               REPEAT(1)

NAME
     repeat - repeat a string or file

SYNOPSIS
     repeat [-]count [string | file]

DESCRIPTION
     _▶08◀R_▶08◀e_▶08◀p_▶08◀e_▶08◀a_▶08◀t repeatedly prints its first argument _▶08◀c_▶08◀o_▶08◀u_▶08◀n_▶08◀t times.  If
     _▶08◀c_▶08◀o_▶08◀u_▶08◀n_▶08◀t is negative, the argument string is repeated
     _▶08◀a_▶08◀b_▶08◀s(_▶08◀c_▶08◀o_▶08◀u_▶08◀n_▶08◀t) times, otherwise, _▶08◀f_▶08◀i_▶08◀l_▶08◀e is repeatedly printed.  If
     _▶08◀f_▶08◀i_▶08◀l_▶08◀e is missing, input is taken from the standard input,
     stored in a temporary file, and then repeated.

EXAMPLES
          repeat 10 #input from tty is reprinted 10 times
          pr file | repeat 5#pr output is repeated five times
          repeat -20 hello#20 hello's are printed
          repeat 20 hello#the file hello is repeated
