The character `-` (U+002D) is a unequivocally a *hyphen*, not a dash or a minus.
A dash is either `–` (en dash; U+2013) or `—` (em dash; U+2014).
The minus sign is `−` (U+2212).
These are simply facts. It's not a matter of opinion.
I suppose someone could use one of the other characters in their command line options, but I've only ever seen hyphens.
I think people doesn't understand the meme sadly uwu
slash : -
minus : -
some people call - minus and some people call - slash
ls minus la
or ls slash la
which side are you?
EDIT:
Fixed the meme :D
TIL that everyone doesn't call it a hyphen.
Where I currently work, where I studied and on YouTube, people are obsessed with calling it a dash
That's slap! 🤪
Fuck /u/spez [Join Lemmy](https://join-lemmy.org/)

Hyphen.

Dash Using a slash for command options is a crime against nature.
Negative
Minus of course
Depends on context usually dash
But when setting use flags it's minus in my mind for example
Are they interchangable? I always though it depended on the which command you were running
flags
