Hi, I'm updating the manual pages for POSIX.1-2024. One of the changes in this revision is that POSIX now encourages implementations to disallow using new-line characters in file names. Historically, Linux (and maybe all existing POSIX systems?) has allowed new-line characters in file names. I guess there's no intention to change that behavior. But I should ask. I thought of adding this paragraph to all pages that create file names: +.SH CAVEATS +POSIX.1-2024 encourages implementations to +disallow creation of filenames containing new-line characters. +Linux doesn't follow this, +and allows using new-line characters. Are there any comments? Have a lovely day! Alex -- <https://www.alejandro-colomar.es/>
