ing Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

None.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
None.
ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS
Default.
STDOUT

EXTENDED DESCRIPTION
None.

The following sections are informative.
APPLICATION USAGE
This utility is typically used in shell scripts, as shown in the EXAMPLES section. The special built-in utility : is sometimes more effi-
cient than true.
EXAMPLES
This command is executed forever:
while true
do
command
done
RATIONALE
The true utility has been retained in this volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, even though the shell special built-in : provides similar func-
tionality, because true is widely used in historical scripts and is less cryptic to novice script readers.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
