TRUE(1)

NAME
       true - do nothing, successfully

SYNOPSIS
       true
       true {--help,--version}

DESCRIPTION
       This  documentation  is no longer being maintained and may
       be inaccurate or incomplete.  The Texinfo documentation is
       now the authoritative source.

       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.
