💖 TRUE(1) 💖

okay bestie, so the manual name is true and she lives in the General Commands Manual section, and honestly? she's the moment. the entire personality. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

true — returns true, a successful exit status. that's it. that's the whole job. and she ate. 💅

she immediately returns with the exit status 0, except when you invoke her with one of the recognized options. in those cases she'll try to write the help or version text. and literally any IO error while she's doing that causes the program to return 1 instead. 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

true [--help] [--version]

look at her. two options. pure, simple, unbothered. 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

returns true, a successful exit status. 🎀
