NAME

true - do nothing, successfully  

SYNOPSIS

true  

DESCRIPTION

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.
