Synopsis

.. BEGIN SYNOPSIS

.. 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 characters (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.
