   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
