How to escape folder names in tar?

Question

linux

Good afternoon.
There is a bash script that starts archiving folders for ELK.
Folder names are generated from random characters, and when the folder starts with "-". For example "-32JUVRKW5Qx9MrF49oQ". Then tar takes the next character as an option, and crashes accordingly.

tar -cvzf $ARCHIV_DIR/$ARCHIV_DATA.tar.gz -C /srv/lib/elasticsearch/nodes/0/indices/ $INDICES

". Where $INDICES are folder names like "Bu894OCDRBWxupAuIPKrcg n1cWAfXYRvaszRwvvcN2IQ 9_9CDKEuTJ-OkXdidplEUg,
etc.
"

Answer 1

tar -cvzf $ARCHIV_DIR/$ARCHIV_DATA.tar.gz -C /srv/lib/elasticsearch/nodes/0/indices/ -- $INDICES

Example:

$ tar cvf 1 -- x y -wow
x/
x/1.txt
y/
y/1.txt
-wow/
-wow/1.txt

 
And here -w was perceived as an option

$ tar cvf 1 x y -wow
add ‘x’?^C
