I wonder why this fails:
# touch '-foo' touch: invalid option -- 'o' # touch '\-foo' (works) # mv '-foo' foo mv: invalid option -- 'o' Try `mv --help' for more information. What confuses me is, if foo was surrounded by double-quotes, then expansion may be a problem but with single-quotes, no expansion is performed, so why does both commands fail? Is this some quirkiness in the way command arguments are being handled?
