It's not necessary to include it with every utility that uses getopt(3), but I think that rm(1) is a special case since it's what a beginner will use in their last-ditch attempt to get rid of that damn file that they _somehow_ created. I would, btw, make the same argument for _adding_ the mentioned NOTE to the mv(1) manpage... <hint!> <hint!> Arguably it's even more important to have it in the mv(1) page than the rm(1) page (even if not historically correct). -- tIM...HOEk Who's been messing with my anti-paranoi shot?!
