NAME
true - do nothing, successfully
SYNOPSIS
true
true
{--help,--version}
DESCRIPTION
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.
OPTIONS
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.
