Removing a file named like a command flag
I messed up on a tar command and ended up with a file named "--exclude=tmp"
When I try to use rm to remove it, it thinks the "--exclude=tmp" is a flag and gives me an error.
Code:
root@livingroom:/home/yuchai/backup/fileserve# ls -al
total 312200
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 35549184 2006-07-26 15:08 --exclude=tmp
drwxr-xr-x 2 yuchai users 144 2006-07-26 15:15 .

root@livingroom:/home/yuchai/backup/fileserve# rm --exclude\=tmp
rm: unrecognized option `--exclude=tmp'
Try `rm --help' for more information.
How do I remove this file? |
