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. OOPPTTIIOONNSS When GNU ttrruuee is invoked with exactly one argument, the following options are recognized: _-_-_h_e_l_p Print a usage message on standard output and exit successfully. _-_-_v_e_r_s_i_o_n Print version information on standard output then exit successfully.
