Before Linux FTP daemons could offer filenames in a definite encoding, Linux needs some way to get a definite of a filename, and AFAIK the kernel offers no such standard way (via an extended version of readdir etc.). Moreover, ext2 doesn't even define a standard encoding for filenames (unlike NTFS filesystems, which define Unicode as the internal filename storage form, removing the encoding ambiguity). Are there any functions for this on other Unixes? (I guess such functions weren't defined by POSIX) Or will Linux / glibc need to make up its own function names for this functionality? (if we'd ever apply with this problem to the Linux kernel maintainers and they'd agree to fix it) ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
