| Nov 17, 2012 at 1:35 | comment | added | vgoff | There is no association to files and directories. It is a signal when providing arguments to commands that you are done supplying options / arguments, and are listing a 'target' of some kind, either a file or a directory maybe. Can you show an example of what you are trying to do? | |
