openssl uses single dash for long options too: -inform, -outform, -text, -noout, etc.
gcc uses single dash for long options too: -std, -pedantic, -dumpspecs, etc.
I am sure there are many more modern commands that do this.
- sllabres 8y agoAs most applications older than a year are called legacy nowadays gcc (~30 YO) or openssl (~20 YO) are not what comes into my mind when asked for "modern" commands. Neither are for 'dd' or 'tar' (probably 30 YO) from the other comment. There are probably other, younger commands not following the --long-option pattern, but i think that doesn't make it better to break this convention.
