Subject: [9fans] how to delete directories prefixed with a dash
Topicbox-Message-UUID: a244e9ae-eacd-11e9-9e20-41e7f4b1d025

I think i did a 'mkdir -p -m 777 xxx' , before either flag was supported
and thus created a -p and a -m directory. I finally removed them by
cd'ing to those dirs and doing a 'rm .';

What's the quoting rule to get that type of name past the flags
processing in rm (or anything else that has flags)?
