doesn't seem to return anything sensible to me...

   % make -o war love
   make: *** No rule to make target `love'.  Stop.

The trouble with these sorts of things is that they depend on various 
versions of the utilities, and shell and ...

Eg in (t)csh (which I use - sosueme),

  csh% got-a-light?

Returns:

  got-a-light?: No match.

In bash, it's rather dullly says:

   $ got-a-light?
   bash: got-a-light?: command not found

There's more here:

and here:

and ... well, all over the interweb, generally!
