A page for each applet in the kit, plus .so stubs for aliases such as egrep and unxz. Each was written from the pinned busybox-w32 source with the kit's patches and configuration, then checked against the source and by experiment. The NOTES sections cover Windows behavior.

.SH NAME
|
|
false \- do nothing, unsuccessfully
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B false
|
|
.RI [ argument ...]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B false
|
|
exits with status 1.
|
|
It does nothing else: it reads no input, writes no output, and ignores
|
|
its arguments.
|
|
It does not use the standard streams, so a closed one makes no
|
|
difference.
|
|
This
|
|
.B false
|
|
is a busybox applet; see
|
|
.BR busybox (1).
|
|
.PP
|
|
Nothing on the command line is an option.
|
|
.BR \-\-help ,
|
|
.BR \-\-version ,
|
|
and
|
|
.B \-\-
|
|
are ignored like any other argument.
|
|
.SH ENVIRONMENT
|
|
.B false
|
|
reads no environment variables.
|
|
The startup code shared by all applets reads
|
|
.BR BB_CRITICAL_ERROR_DIALOGS ,
|
|
.BR BB_GLOBBING ,
|
|
and
|
|
.BR BB_UMASK ,
|
|
and may trim a trailing semicolon from
|
|
.BR PATH .
|
|
None of these changes what
|
|
.B false
|
|
does; see
|
|
.BR busybox (1).
|
|
.SH EXIT STATUS
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B 1
|
|
Always.
|
|
.SH EXAMPLES
|
|
Show the exit status of
|
|
.BR false :
|
|
.PP
|
|
.RS 4
|
|
.EX
|
|
$ false; echo $?
|
|
1
|
|
.EE
|
|
.RE
|
|
.PP
|
|
Run a command only when the previous one fails:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.RS 4
|
|
.EX
|
|
$ false || echo failed
|
|
failed
|
|
.EE
|
|
.RE
|
|
.SH NOTES
|
|
Unlike the GNU
|
|
.BR false ,
|
|
this one has no
|
|
.B \-\-help
|
|
or
|
|
.B \-\-version
|
|
and never prints anything.
|
|
.B busybox \-\-help false
|
|
prints the busybox version and
|
|
.B No help available
|
|
on standard output, and exits with status 0.
|
|
.PP
|
|
In the kit's shell,
|
|
.B false
|
|
is a builtin, so typing it does not start the applet.
|
|
Programs that run commands by name, such as
|
|
.BR env ,
|
|
run the applet by starting
|
|
.IR busybox.exe ,
|
|
unless
|
|
.B BB_OVERRIDE_APPLETS
|
|
says otherwise; see
|
|
.BR busybox (1).
|
|
From
|
|
.BR cmd.exe ,
|
|
the launcher
|
|
.I false.exe
|
|
or
|
|
.B busybox false
|
|
runs it.
