okay - this is taken from the man page for true (as distributed with
Slackware linux 8.0)
NAME
true - do nothing, successfully
SYNOPSIS
true [ignored command line arguments]
true OPTION
DESCRIPTION
Exit with a status code indicating success.
These option names may not be abbreviated.
--help display this help and exit
--version
output version information and exit
REPORTING BUGS
Report bugs to <address@hidden>.
is this a joke? or poor usage of a man-page template? or an honest
mistake?
Obviously, since the command line arguments are ignored, neither --help
nor --version do ANYTHING.
I find this to be funny even if it was intentional. if not, its even
funnier.
