Description:
------------
Many GNU applications (and perhaps other UNIX applications) will take a double-minus ('--') as an indicator to stop processing the rest of the string as possible switches. This is useful for deleting files with names like '-somefile':

rm -- -somefile

Any chance of getting this functionality into Console_Getargs ?

Thanks!

Reproduce code:
---------------
N/A

Expected result:
----------------
N/A

Actual result:
--------------
N/A

Is there something that I've failed to do? Why nearly two months of silence?

[2005-04-14 13:08 UTC] pearbugs at deadman dot org

er, one month

I'm confused. How does the current behavior differ from what I'm requesting? Is the current behavior documented somewhere?

The current behavior and the requested behavior differ in that I cannot say for sure that the hyphen at the begining of -somefile will be ignored.

Unfortunately the behavior has not been properly documented.
