Synopsis: mkdir State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: mpp State-Changed-When: Sat Oct 28 11:18:44 PDT 2000 State-Changed-Why: This is a case of user error. When trying to create or manipulate files or directories, you need to prevent the utility in question from interpreting the file name as an option. In this case, the following would work: mkdir -- -test or mkdir ./test or mkdir /full/path/-test See the FAQ at www.freebsd.org for more information on common questions like this. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=22356 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
