Good afternoon,
In Dired-mode, the dired-show-file-type command (executed when y is
pressed) does not work on files that begin with a "-".
Here is how to reproduce the bug:
================================================================
$ touch /tmp/-a
$ emacs -q
C-x d /tmp RET
(position the cursor on the line describing the "-a" file)
y
================================================================
And this is what is then displayed on the minibuffer:
================================================================
/usr/bin/file: invalid option -- a
Usage: file [-bciknsvzL] [-f namefile] [-m magicfiles] file...
Usage: file -C [-m magic]
================================================================
Below is a patch that adds a "--" command-line argument to "file" and
that corrects the problem on my system. The semantics (end of the
options list) is understood by the version of "file" on my
Debian-unstable system:
$ file --version
file-3.37-3.1
magic data from /etc/magic:/usr/share/misc/magic
$
and by SunOS 5.7's "file".
Note: SunOS 5.7's "file" utility doesn't understand the "-L" option.
