I can't see how, as the binary ignores parameters like --help, even
though it is present in the man page.
No it doesn't,
~ $ /bin/true --help
Usage: /bin/true [ignored command line arguments]
or: /bin/true OPTION
Exit with a status code indicating success.
These option names may not be abbreviated.
--help display this help and exit
--version output version information and exit
Report bugs to <address@hidden>.
~ $ /bin/true --version
true (GNU coreutils) 5.2.1
