Hello,
Just emailing to let you know of a problem i've encountered in the argument parsing
algorithms of quite a few of the gnu fileutils on a linux system.
If you specify a file / directory name starting with a dash, even if it is within
quotes, the parsing algorithm will assume it is an argument option, and
issue an invalid option message.
I am assuming this is a bug and not by design, based on my experiences based on this
problem -- when I found a file simply called "-o"
on my drive, I could not get rid of it with any of the gnu file utilities, so I just
had to write my own program which unlink()'d it..
Anyway, I hope that helps, anymore info required and i'll be glad to be of assistance.
