false(1)

     NAME
          false - do nothing, unsuccessfully

     SYNOPSIS
          false
          false {--help,--version}

     DESCRIPTION
          This documentation is no longer being maintained and may be
          inaccurate or incomplete.  The Texinfo documentation is now
          the authoritative source.

          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.

        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.
