The official name of "the Unix command-line option dash" is the hyphen-minus character (U+002D). Given how much confusion there is about this, and particularly given how ambiguous the word "dash" is in typography (the hyphen-minus is one of 25 dashes in Unicode), you may want to say that explicitly in addition to saying that it's the character used in UNIX command-line options (and, arguably as importantly, in UNIX command names). -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
