Description of problem: wipe -a /tmp/foo fails: wipe: invalid option -- 'a'

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Seems to be still existing in git HEAD.

How reproducible: always

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. mkdir /tmp/foo
  2. wipe -ra /tmp/foo

Actual results: wipe fails: wipe: invalid option -- 'a'

Expected results: wipe should remove /tmp/foo and abort on error as documented by --help/manpage:

$ wipe -h 2>&1| grep -- -a -a Abort on error

Would you apply a patch if I provide one or did you abandon wipe?
