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.
