[...]-i isn't an option of touch. It is an option of rm. The touch places a file -i in the directory. At least with POSIX sort order, this is bound to come rather early in a directory listing, so if you have files a, b, c in the directory, rm * .o expands into rm -i a b c .o It does not help much if you have a sort order where - gets ignored, obviously.
Hey, that's clever! Marc
