Hi,
I incidantly created file named as '--min-size=8'. In fact, I don't know how
it was created. I have difficulty to remove it using "rm -rf \--min-size=8
or other ways?

Alternatively, you can escape every hyphen and equals sign within the file name:
$ rm -i \-\-min\-size\=8


Will this actually work?  Doesn't bash eat the escapes before rm
sees them?
