bug#21636: a question of the “wc” program

[JameDam]

 

I have a file which is named “-l”, and I use the wc to count the file, undesirably wc requested the standard input rather than my file "-l" ,although I use it through the command

wc -lw -l

it didn't work as my will, however, linux itself do not limit this kind of name style, but wc does, so unreasonable, such as my above command actually doesn't cause a ambiguity, so can you improve it ? try to check whether those files exist by the args from arg[2] atleast,not ignore those arguments.

 

expect your reply.:)

 

 

 

Cheers,
