How do I open a file with a name beginning with + from the command line?
If a command line option that begins with ‘+’ is followed by another option, the former is always treated as a starting line number and the latter is always treated as a filename. If a command line option that begins with ‘+’ isn’t followed by another option, it’s always treated as a filename. Examples: To open ‘+filename.txt’ starting on line 1: nano +filename.txt To open ‘+filename.txt’ starting on line 10: nano +10 +filename.txt To open ‘+filename.txt’ starting on line 1 and ‘filename.txt’ starting on line 10 (if nano has been compiled with multibuffer support): nano +1 +filename.txt +20 filename.
