Control characters in file namesControl characters in file namesPosted Dec 2, 2010 18:22 UTC (Thu) by Wol (guest, #4433)In reply to: Control characters in file names by cmccabe Parent article: Ghosts of Unix past, part 4: High-maintenance designs
One problem with that ... (administrators enforcing policy, that is)
I've worked on a system where a file was composed of sub-files (Pr1mos). This was emulated on nix by using a directory with "special" names inside, namely all the subfiles were "<space><backspace><number>". Because nobody is supposed to touch these subfiles directly.
So if you enforce a policy like that, you could bust a bunch of apps ...
Cheers,
