How to output -- in Latex. When I use it directly, it will only show a -. I added transliterated characters in front, but they all reported errors.

When I put it in a mathematical environment, it becomes lscpu − −extend.

Thanks

\begin{itemize}
    \item -- (\texttt{-\,-}) % You do not want that.
    \item -\,- (\texttt{-\textbackslash,-}) % Maybe better.
    \item -\kern 0pt- (\texttt{-\textbackslash kern 0pt-}) % Maybe better.

Update: I found a related question: How do I prevent LaTeX from creating en-dash and em-dash?. Especially the answer of Werner seems to be suitable for your situation.
