I'm not going to try it but... rm "./-rf *" would do the same? rm "./-rf \*" maybe?
Couldn’t get single quotes to type on my phone, but best to always use them for problems like that, to completely get rid of shell interference.
If you do want to try, just start a docker container and try inside there. That should negate all risk
I've been using Linux as my main driver for a couple of years now but I didn't know the list of reserved file name characters is so short.
I didn't believe '*' is allowed. That alone is so error-prone, it's insane. Backslash is allowed too - how do you escape that? Sometimes I think they giggled while writing the specs.
