If you had bothered to read the manpage for rm(1) you would already
know that since the following paragraph appears there:
The rm command uses getopt(3) to parse its arguments, which allows it to
accept the --' option which will cause it to stop processing flag
options at that point. This will allow the removal of file names that
begin with a dash (-'). For example:
rm -- -filename
The same behavior can be obtained by using an absolute or relative path
reference. For example:
rm /home/user/-filename
rm ./-filename
--
