But I'm running OSX. ;-) All unicode characters are allowed, including NUL. (Although many applications will impose their own restrictions.) And in btrfs, '/' is disallowed (in addition to \0). And in extfs, \0, '/', "." and ".." are disallowed... Basically, the posix spec doesn't matter as every actual filesystem deviates from it. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
