Subject:   Filesystem character limitations?
Message-ID:  <001a01c0bc4f$844e82f0$dc02010a@battleship>

Does the UFS filesystem used by freebsd allow any character value in file
names?
Suppose I create a C program that calls mkdir(2) to create a directory, what
are the limitations on the directory name?

Can it contain characters > 127?
Can it contain 255?
Can it contain null(0)?

Currently I am not worried about if any utilities can deal with or display
these file names..I am just wondering if it is possible and what the
limitations are.

Thanks for your time.
