POSIX 1003.2-1992, section 4.53.3 says:

      ``The following options SHALL be supported by the implementation:
	
	-f 	Do not prompt for confirmation.  Do not write diagnostic
		messages or modify the exit status in the case of 
		non-existent operands.  Any previous occurrences of the
		-i option shall be ignored.

	... ''

The code seems correct now ...
