I get always confused when I have to give a new name for a new data or executable file under linux, to use underscore or the dash to separate words in the name.
My question: Are there any standard or guide to follow to know when to use this or that?
Some files are actually duplicated in both lists:
x86_64-linux-gnu-cpp, but you probably get the idea that there are more dashes that underscores. Additionally there are files where there is no separation whatsoever as inatktopbm,bdftruncate… not really standard it seems.
