Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Deleting directory with leading hyphen in name Post 302981521 by RudiC on Wednesday 14th of September 2016 09:02:19 AM

What about all the other approaches given in that link (and the ones in there)?

Could it be there's a space in the file name after the -p?

NAME
tiffinfo - print information about TIFF files SYNOPSIS
tiffinfo [ options ] input.tif ... DESCRIPTION
Tiffinfo displays information about files created according to the Tag Image File Format, Revision 6.0. By default, the contents of each TIFF directory in each file is displayed, with the value of each tag shown symbolically (where sensible). OPTIONS
-c Display the colormap and color/gray response curves, if present. -D In addition to displaying the directory tags, read and decompress all the data in each image (but not display it). -d In addition to displaying the directory tags, print each byte of decompressed data in hexadecimal. -j Display any JPEG-related tags that are present. -o Set the initial TIFF directory according to the specified file offset. The file offset may be specified using the usual C-style syntax; i.e. a leading ``0x'' for hexadecimal and a leading ``0'' for octal. -s Display the offsets and byte counts for each data strip in a directory. -z Enable strip chopping when reading image data. -# Set the initial TIFF directory to #.
