Use single quotes; within single quotes, all characters are treated literally, except for the terminating quote. If the filename contains any single quotes, use '\'' (quote, backslash, quote, quote), e.g. rm 'foo'\''bar' will remove a file called foo'bar. However, note that this issue is due to the shell; it doesn't apply when passing arguments directly via e.g. execve(). OTOH, filenames which look like options are due to the command itself. > How about slashes (not as a directory delimiter) in the filename? Not possible. A filename cannot contain a slash; this is enforced by the kernel. If you encounter a filename which contains a slash, the filesystem is corrupted. -- Glynn Clements <glynn.clements@xxxxxxxxxx> - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-admin" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
