[LI] comparing - and --



hi all,

This question sounds stupid but I am putting it to you anyway.
I have worked with different unices (Irix, OSF, solaris etc.)
When I came to Linux I discovered all command line options were
using two hyphens (--) instead of single -.

For example: ls --color

Now, why is it so? :)
