For more fun, go figure out why: grep - - -- grep [---] behave the same, regardless of whether you have a file named '-' in your current working directory (unless you use shopt -s failglob). And the rule on using ./- for a file in the current directory also applies to touch, except there '-' means stdout instead of stdin. -- Eric Blake, Principal Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc. +1-919-301-3226 Virtualization: qemu.org | libvirt.org
