Does this happen in every directory, or do you have a file named |
| 19 |
"--exlucde" that you created by mistake in the dir where this happens? |
| 20 |
That name would tend to sort first ahead of most other names. I can |
| 21 |
recreate it like this: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
$ touch ./--exlucde |
| 24 |
$ ls * |
| 25 |
ls: unrecognized option '--exlucde' |
| 26 |
Try `ls --help' for more information. |
| 27 |
$ |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
and I can fix it like this: |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
$ rm ./--exlucde |
| 32 |
$ |
| 33 |
|
