Package: tinycdb
Version: 0.77
Severity: normal
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a database for testing purposes:
$ printf "+1,1:a->b\n\n" | cdb -c /tmp/test.cdb
2. Querying for a key that exists returns the value, as expected:
$ cdb -q -m /tmp/test.cdb "a"
b
3. Querying for an alphabetic key that doesn't exist returns nothing,
as expected:
$ cdb -q -m /tmp/test.cdb "b"; echo "nothing"
nothing
4. However, if you query for a key that starts with "-", you get an
error message:
$ cdb -q -m /tmp/test.cdb "-_-"
cdb: invalid option -- '_'
cdb: try `cdb -h' for help
I would have expected no output, since the key "-_-" doesn't exist
in the database.
According to the description of "cdb -q" in the manpage, a parameter
after the database filename can only be a key to query, so it seems to
be a bug that cdb is trying to interpret it as an option.
