Sidney Cammeresi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> posted the VMS way. Not that I'm advocating this is the right way (let alone have code that implements this), but here's how the same things could look in Unix: $ ls -F foo.txt $ ls foo.txt/* foo.txt/1 foo.txt/2 foo.txt/3 foo.txt/4 foo.txt/5
That's not really tenable. Some operating systems do have objects that look like files from some angles and directories from others, but others have VFS layers that don't really allow for this. I very much doubt that the linux dentry cache can handle an object which claims to be a file but has children, and even if it did, you'd have an interesting time dealing with files which have multiple links, since directories may not have multiple aliases in the dentry cache.
Now, replace 'ls foo.txt/*' with 'fs listdeleted foo.txt', and you're fine.
At least there's no upper-case this way.
There's nothing inherently upper-case about VMS. It has a case-insensitive filesystem, and defaults to listing filenames in upper case. You'd see lots of upper-case in your example, too, if the file were named FOO.TXT.
