It is against the rules but but what is it exactly?

    I don’t think these things are universal across software, but you can often put -f on its own, separate from other flags, or get in the habit of using the long --force flag.

      As far as I’ve seen, single letter flags like -f can always be used by themselves, like -f -r

      It’s actually not universal that they can be put together like -fr

      In scripts or documents I try to use the long form of commands.
