FW: CP bug?

forget my last comment - I was messing around with a couple of commands
(tar) and have accidentally created a file called '--exclude' in the
directory.

oops.

Subject: CP bug?


Hi there,

I'm running RHE Linux 2.4.21-4.0.1.ELsmp.

I just tried to use cp with a command that it didn't recognise - I
mistakenly thought there was an --exclude option:

cp -Rv * ~/rbtemp --exclude 200*

which then reported:

cp: unrecognized option `--exclude'
Try `cp --help' for more information.

I then issued the command:

cp -Rv * ~/rbtemp

which yielded the same message (every time I issued the command).

Is this a bug in cp?

Cheers,
:-)
Rich
