NAME
       true, false - Returns a standard exit value

SYNOPSIS
       true

       false

STANDARDS
       Interfaces  documented on this reference page conform to industry stan‐
       dards as follows:

       true:  XCU5.0

       false:  XCU5.0

       Refer to the standards(5) reference page	 for  more  information	 about
       industry standards and associated tags.

DESCRIPTION
       The  true  command  returns  a  0  (zero) exit value. The false command
       returns a nonzero exit value. These commands are usually used in	 input
       to shell commands.

NOTES
       The special built-in utility : (colon) is sometimes more efficient than
       the true command.

EXIT STATUS
       [Tru64 UNIX]  The nonzero value returned by the false command may  vary
       from system to system.

EXAMPLES
       To  construct  a	 loop  in  a  shell  procedure,	 enter:	 while true do
	    date      sleep 60 done

       This procedure displays the date and time once a minute.	 To  stop  it,
       press the Interrupt key sequence.
