I just got a chance to try it on Windows-XP (NTFS file system):
- In a DOS window "rename foo.pdf foo.PDF" works.
- In a Cygwin shell, "mv foo.pdf foo.PDF" works as well.
- Following C program compiled on Cygwin with gcc can also rename successfully:
$ cat test-rename.c
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
return rename(argv[1], argv[2]);
}
$ gcc test-rename.c
$ ./a.out foo.pdf foo.PDF # works on Cygwin in NTFS
But the same C program does not do anything (without error) on Linux
in a FAT32 file system.
