[DragonFlyBSD - Bug #2385] cut: "-" doesn't work for standard input

[John Marino via Redmine <bugtracker-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Issue #2385 has been updated by John Marino.


The "-w" in the example is wrong, but I confirmed the error on DragonFly which doesn't appear on FreeBSD 9.

The man page for cut states that you can supply a - in place of the filename to read from standard input, but it doesn't work:

> echo foo bar | cut -w -f 1 -
cut: -: No such file or directory

However, this does:

> echo foo bar | cut -w -f 1
foo
