When ps the process of a tty. I see a process like this spawned by
/usr/bin/login.

  504 63655 63647   0  9:42AM ttys005    0:00.39 -bash

Could anybody let me know the meaning of -bash? What does "-" mean? Is
this conventional documented somewhere ("-" is not searchable, so I
cannot find where this is documented)?
