Bello..... per completezza cito dalla info page delle fileutils gnu:

``
   One common question is how to remove files whose names begin with a
`-'.  GNU `rm', like every program that uses the `getopt' function to
parse its arguments, lets you use the `--' option to indicate that all
following arguments are non-options.  To remove a file called `-f' in
the current directory, you could type either:

     rm -- -f

or:

     rm ./-f

   The Unix `rm' program's use of a single `-' for this purpose
predates the development of the getopt standard syntax.

D'altro canto esistono anche comandi la cui sintassi NON e' standard affatto
 e non ha nessuna intenzione di diventarlo... ad esempio dd...
