Removing files with weird names
From Noah.org
Jump to navigationJump to searchIn a shell run this command:
touch -- -rf
First thing, don't try to remove this file! Now ask yourself, "How do I delete it?".
Most GNU tools will accept '--' as an option. This tells the option parser to stop interpreting the arguments list as options. For example, to remove a file named "-rf" do this:
rm -- -rf
