Subject: "." not recognising "--" as the end-of-options
Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2008 16:43:19 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081028164318.GD4819@sc.homeunix.net> (raw)
Hiya,
$ zsh -c '. -- --help'
zsh:.:1: no such file or directory: --
$ ARGV0=sh zsh -c '. -- --help'
zsh:.:1: no such file or directory: --
The handling of "--" is mandated by POSIX I beleive.
With ksh, pdksh, bash you have to use:
. -- "$1"
if you can't guarantee that "$1" won't start with a "-".
Unfortunately, that code doesn't work with zsh at the moment.

Stéphane
