The former. Unix filesystems accept all bytes for filenames with the exception of 0x2f, which serves as directory separator, and 0x00, which terminates the string. Any encoding that doesn't conflict with these two restrictions is valid. UTF-8 was invented on Plan-9, a Unix offspring, so no surprise there. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber na...@mips.inka.de
