glob work on file names. so when shell expands glob it must expand it
in right way: file names must not became options for programms
Ok, if '--' sign is a special and mark the end of command line options
why:
echo -- hello
echoing '-- hello' instead of 'hello'??
this also does not work:
sox -c 2 -- * -c 1 ./../* -r 8000 result.wav
because '-c' will be counted as 'file name'
and what behaviour will be, if file name has ' '?
For example: Saving all file names in directory to file:
echo * > /some/file
as a result I get 'aa aa bb bb'
Which files are in current directory?
1) 'aa aa', 'bb bb'
2) 'aa' 'bb' 'aa bb'
3) your sugggestion
PS. ugly behaviour to my mind
or unclean spec/docs maybe
