true
: Do nothing, successfully
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) may be faster.
Any arguments are ignored, except for a lone `--help' or `--version' (see section Common options).
