But the example was clear that we are concerned about a file that is named exactly "-foo", and only that it starts with "-", not "-foo". I think the wording is fine as-is. > Without * it didn't work for me What do you mean by didn't work? Can you post the exact sequence of commands that you did to create and try to remove a problematic file name, and the error message (if any) that made you assume that it didn't work? The whole point of that text in the example is that you use either -- or inserting a leading ./ to remove a problematic filename that is relative to the current directory; but you still have to type either the full filename or use shell globbing just as with any other file name. -- Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org From debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Sat Jul 02 10:40:48 2011 Received: (at control) by debbugs.gnu.org; 2 Jul 2011 14:40:48 +0000 Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1] helo=debbugs.gnu.org) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.69) (envelope-from ) id 1Qd1NI-00022a-M4 for submit@debbugs.gnu.org; Sat, 02 Jul 2011 10:40:48 -0400 Received: from mx.meyering.net ([82.230.74.64]) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.69) (envelope-from ) id 1Qd1NF-00022I-KZ for control@debbugs.gnu.org; Sat, 02 Jul 2011 10:40:46 -0400 Received: by rho.meyering.net (Acme Bit-Twister, from userid 1000) id 1FF6360273; Sat, 2 Jul 2011 16:40:40 +0200 (CEST) From: Jim Meyering To: control@debbugs.gnu.org Subject: close a few old bugs and non-bugs Date: Sat, 02 Jul 2011 16:40:39 +0200 Message-ID: <87sjqo7nko.fsf@rho.meyering.net> Lines: 23 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain X-Spam-Score: -6.1 (------) X-Debbugs-Envelope-To: control X-BeenThere: debbugs-submit@debbugs.gnu.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.11 Precedence: list List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Sender: debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Errors-To: debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org X-Spam-Score: -6.1 (------) tags 6925 + notabug close 6925 tags 6924 + notabug close 6924 tags 7008 + notabug close 7008 tags 7093 + notabug close 7093 tags 7223 + notabug close 7223 tags 7247 + notabug close 7247 close 7198 close 7199 close 7324 thanks Back when we had just connected the bug tracker to bug-coreutils there were a lot of non-bug messages.
