note that this won't work if the filenames contain white space.
(i still regret the fact that white space became allowable in file names)
using ws in filenames is a fossil-only problem;
kfs, cwfs and ken's fs won't allow it.
fortunately, fossil is easy to fix
the easiest thing to do is not use spaces in
your file names, even if others do in theirs.
most people take that approach, even on unix,
and it works fine.
if you are worried about names with spaces
and want to make a script more robust, then
the simplest option is to set ifs='

if you are trying to disallow space you'd have
to fiddle with every file server you could possibly
talk to, or you'd have to edit the kernel.

filenames are a pain and it would be best not

i am astounded it keeps resurfacing.
I believe it was Nemo et al. who wrote trfs, which does essentially
what you want--it stands between you and your badly-named files,
presenting spaces as underscores or something to that effect.
In inferno (at least in acme-sac) the spaces coming from
my native (windows) filesystem are
I forgot, / is actually illegal. I'm almost (but not quite) certain that \0
is legal, and if I understand my emacs correctly you may be able to type it
as ctrl-space. It displays as ^@ in emacs.
what system call do you use to create a file with \0 in the name?

I fixed a bug in plan9port's OS X window
label handling the other day, so that 9term
windows will update their labels properly

Unfortunately it seems that the label update
must be done inside the application event loop,
but it originates outside the event loop.
For now I have
