TRUE(1L) manual page
true - do nothing, successfully
true
true {--help,--version}
This manual page documents the GNU version
of true (and probably every other version, as well). true does nothing
except return an exit status of 0, meaning ``success''. It can be used as a
place holder in shell scripts where a successful command is needed, although
the shell built-in command `:' (colon) does the same thing faster.
When GNU true is invoked with exactly one argument, the following options
are recognized:
- --help
- Print a usage message on standard output and exit
successfully.
- --version
- Print version information on standard output then
exit successfully.
