false - do nothing, unsuccessfully
false
false {--help,--version}
This manual page documents the GNU version
of false (and probably every other version, as well). false does nothing
except return an exit status of 1, meaning ``failure''. It can be used as a
place holder in shell scripts where an unsuccessful command is needed.
When GNU false is invoked with exactly one argument, the following
options are recognized:
- --help
- Print a usage message on standard output
and exit successfully.
- --version
- Print version information on standard output
then exit successfully.
