Talk:True (Unix)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've removed the stub entry

Just possibly that in SCO (and probably other SYSV variants that /bin/true is (was) actually a 0 length file. With no "magic" in the header, the shell presumed it a script. Immediately hitting EOF and having executed no failing instructions, the shell returned "success" which is 0 which is "true."

Possibly too trivial--I'm new here.... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 208.8.57.16 (talk) 14:27, August 21, 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge with false (unix)

true(unix) and false(unix) should be merged, since they make antagon things. --Fixman (talk) 22:37, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
