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 noth- ing except return an exit status of 1, meaning ``fail- ure''. It can be used as a place holder in shell scripts where an unsuccessful command is needed. OPTIONS 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.
