>Environment:

	

>Description:

	I like to see the output from fdformat(1), but I also get tired of
	either being prompted to confirm, or piping from yes(1) on stdin.

>How-To-Repeat:

	

>Fix:
	
	Apply the following patch to implement the new '-y' option, which
	only silences the y/n prompt and not all output.
