Package: dash Version: 0.5.10.2-5 Hi all,
I believe I have found a POSIX compliance bug when dash is being executed as sh. It is very easy to reproduce, simply run the below: # kill -USR1 -- 0 sh: 3: kill: Illegal number: - kill(1p) says: > The kill utility shall conform to the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1‐ > 2008, Section 12.2, Utility Syntax Guidelines, except that in the last two > SYNOPSIS forms, the −signal_number and −signal_name options are > usually more than a single character. https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/V1_chap12.html Here one can find the specification for the -- end op options option: > Guideline 10: > The first -- argument that is not an option-argument should be accepted > as a delimiter indicating the end of options. Any following arguments > should be treated as operands, even if they begin with the '-' character. Thanks, -- Melvin Vermeeren.
