Somehow I touched some rather peculiar file names in ~. Experimenting with something I've now forgotten I guess.
Anyway I now have 3 zero length files with names -O, -c, -k. I've tried as many styles of escaping as I could come up with but all are rejected like this: rm \-c rm: illegal option -- c usage: rm [-fiRr] file ... Ditto for: [\-]c '-c' *c '-'c \075c OK, I'm out of escapes. or other tricks... other than using emacs but I haven't installed emacs as yet. I can just ignore them of course, until such time as I do get emacs installed, but by now I just want to know how it might be done from a shell prompt. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
