Speaking of the Oxford dictionary, you can lookup hyphen there too then and see that there's nothing in that description that makes it more suitable.

Sorry, but referring to old legacy books about something as narrow and technical as this is not a good idea. And I haven't found any good authoritative page on Wikipedia for it either, because "hyphen-minus" is most certainly NOT the right answer as there's not a living soul that uses that when talking about command lines even if the actual glyph is named that.

So, I'm going to keep using 'dash' for the symbol in curl documentation.

** [bugs:#1297] -u : --negotiate do not work when -K is used**
**Status:** open-confirmed
**Created:** Wed Nov 06, 2013 03:19 PM UTC by Michael Osipov
**Last Updated:** Fri Nov 08, 2013 10:54 AM UTC

I do use:
curl 7.33.0 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.33.0 OpenSSL/1.0.0 zlib/1.2.3
Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps ldap ldaps pop3 pop3s rtsp smtp smtps telnet tftp
Features: GSS-Negotiate IPv6 Largefile NTLM NTLM_WB SSL libz
Invoking a URL with:
$ curl -i -L -o /dev/null -k --negotiate -u : $URL
works as expected. Negotiate auth is performed. When I transform this to a param file and pass with -K
$  curl -K params.txt
Warning: params.txt:6: warning: '-u' requires parameter
Interestingly, if I set -u foo:bar in the param file, the download works as expected.
The -u in the params file should behave same as in the first example.
