Although "--" historically has not been required to be recognized for certain special builtins that do not take options in POSIX, some other implementations recognize options for them, requiring scripts to use "--" or avoid operands starting with "-". Operands starting with "-" can be avoided with eval by prepending a space, and cannot occur with break, continue, exit, return and shift as they only take numbers, nor with times as it does not take operands. With . and exec, avoiding "-" is not so easy as it may require reimplementing the PATH search; therefore the current proposal for POSIX is to require recognition of "--" for them. We continue to accept other strings starting with "-" as operands to . and exec, and also "--" if it is alone to . (which would otherwise be invalid anyway). |

$FreeBSD$ This directory tree contains tools used for the maintenance and testing of FreeBSD. There is no toplevel Makefile structure since these tools are not meant to be built as part of the standard system, though there may be individual Makefiles in some of the subdirs. Please read the README files in the subdirs for further information.
