Thanks for the report; however, this is not a bug in yes. > "The only options are a lone `--help' or `--version'.

Notice how "--" and "--help" are separate arguments in that paragraph. > $ yes '----help' But here, you passed a single argument instead of two arguments. Use "yes -- -" for your desired usage. -- Eric Blake [email protected] +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
