Summary: Directory.GetFiles *.* pattern should match files with
periods in them on Linux
Classification: Mono
Product: Mono: Class Libraries
Version: 2.2.x
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: Normal
Priority: P5 - None
Component: CORLIB
AssignedTo: [email protected]

Description of Problem:
Directory.GetFiles overload that takes a pattern ignores the ".*" portion of
the "*.*" pattern.
(Note: I see a comment in the _wapi_io_scandir function of
mono/io-layer/io-portability.c asking if there should be a MONO_IOMAP option to
control this behavior, so this is not an unknown issue.)
I do think, however, this is an issue. The msdn docs say nothing about the
"*.*" pattern and that it should be treated in an exceptional way. The MS.NET
runtime only treats the "*.*" pattern in a special way for familiarity sake for
DOS/Windows users. On Linux, the "*.*" pattern should not match files that are
missing a period character.
