    Huh, TIL

    ~ $ /bin/true --help
    Usage: /bin/true [ignored command line arguments]
      or:  /bin/true OPTION
    Exit with a status code indicating success.
    
          --help        display this help and exit
          --version     output version information and exit
    
    NOTE: your shell may have its own version of true, which usually supersedes
    the version described here.  Please refer to your shell's documentation
    for details about the options it supports.

    I honestly don’t know what I prefer more, the overengineered GNU true, or the true that shipped with some older system that was literally just an empty file with the executable bit set.
