Oh, you can also prefix such strange file names with "./" to work with them, e.g.:
$ ls -la total 8 drwxr-xr-x 2 mbt mbt 4096 2009-04-16 00:37 ./ drwxr-xr-x 85 mbt mbt 4096 2009-04-16 00:37 ../ $ touch ./-- $ ls -la total 8 -rw-r--r-- 1 mbt mbt 0 2009-04-16 00:37 -- drwxr-xr-x 2 mbt mbt 4096 2009-04-16 00:37 ./ drwxr-xr-x 85 mbt mbt 4096 2009-04-16 00:37 ../ $ Still, don't do it. This behavior is due to system architecture and very strange things can happen if you use filenames like these. -- What if exit a file/dir named "-*" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/362119 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
