Ignore dash ' - ' directory prefix

jackfiled — Tue, 29 Jun 2004 21:41:40 GMT

Hi all
that's the problem here
I cannot mv or cd that directory.
name like -Biz it is directory.

[apeace@ecfarm1 event]$ mv -Biz
mv: invalid option -- B
Try `mv --help' for more information.

[apeace@ecfarm1 event]$ cd -Biz
-bash: cd: -B: invalid option
cd: usage: cd [-L|-P] [dir]

how can I work it fine?

Use the following syntax:

cd -- -Biz

The '--' says "don't treat any following -'s as switches".
