How to delete a file with name starting with '-' character

11
hello all,


I have a file with name '-ffree-node.c'

How do I delete this ?

When I try to do it
it is giving some errror.

$> rm -ffree-node.c
rm: invalid option -- e
Try `rm --help' for more information.


Thanks for any replies in advance.
