PROLOG

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

       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 POSIX.1-2008, even though the shell special built-in : provides similar functionality,
       because true is widely used in historical scripts and is less cryptic to novice script readers.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

       None.
