No, they won't play well when you don't follow the correct syntax.
The -m option MUST be followed by a file name, and this file must
be a list of one or more URLs to add to the index.  The htdig.html
page is a tad misleading, as it shows [url_file] in brackets, which
would suggest the file is optional, but the description for -m in
http://www.htdig.org/dev/htdig-3.2/htdig.html says "Only index the URLs in
the file provided and no others."  How will it get teh URL(s) if you don't
provide a file?  The description says nothing about reading from stdin.
(htdig 3.1.6 can read from stdin, if a "-" is given, but this is one
feature from 3.1.6 that I never got a chance to add to 3.2.0b5 before
the feature freeze.)

With the syntax above, htdig will try to open a file called "-c", which
it won't find, so it won't add any URLs to the index.
