I suddenly found the folder “-p” in my home directory, one day...

“ ls -p”

-p/

“ ls -p/”

/ is not a flag option

”ls *”

-p

“ls */*”

No file nor directory...

“rm -p”

-p isn’t a flag

So....

I dunno about you guys, but this sucked figuring out how to handle.

It can be removed with

“rm -r ./-p/“

But everything else makes it into a flag.

Moral of the story:

If a file like “-a” shows up and it’s existence bothers you,

DON’T TRY REMOVING IT WITHOUT

“./“ or some other path behind it!
