That said, POSIX does not specify any Unicode encoding, but bytes, and any encoding of \0 (or for that matter any other character) is not actually \0 as far as POSIX is concerned. And Aqua already has the usual failure modes that come from trying to support Unicode transparently on top of POSIX, such as failure to deal with non-normalized representations. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates [email protected] [email protected] unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
