I have this file named "-\" and I cannot get rid of it.
rm -\
rm -\\
rm \-\
rm \-\\
rm "-\"
rm "-\\"
rm "\-\\"
all do not work. Every one thinks that the \ is an option and it doesn't
know how to handle it. I don't know where this came from. Also,
there is an interesting (perhapse bug) thing that occurs.
[root /root]# rm "\-\\"
rm: \-\: No such file or directory
[root /root]# rm "-\\"
rm: invalid option -- \
Try `rm --help' for more information.
If you notice, in the first one, the '-' is escaped with a \, and it
thinks the file name is '\-\', so if you remove the leading backslash,
then it thinks that the '-' is a flag. Any suggestions?
