Not sure I'm in the right place - but - I'm = having a problem with the "mv" command in Cygwin's Unix emmulator... The ma= n page directed me to this address... I have a bunch of files that all star= t with the "-" character (-moo, -moo1, -moo2)...

I'm not sure if the goal of your GNU release is supposed to= match the functionality of Unix but I just wanted to point this out in cas= e you were unaware...

In Solaris - this works:
 
 &= nbsp;  mv -f - '-moo' SCO-moo

In Cygwin - it does not...
Thanks...

Regards,
Scott

Yes, this is the right place; you'd see the same behavior on Linux, which means it is not cygwin-specific (if you do encounter something that you cannot reproduce on Linux, then the cygwin lists are a better place for that question). > The man page directed me to this address...

But what POSIX _does_ require is that: mv -f -- -moo SCO-moo does the right thing, and GNU mv complies with that.
