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.
