I am working on file synchronization and would like to know how Node.js receives file names from Windows when calling fs.stat or fs.readdir?
Does Node.js always return the 8.3 file name equivalent of a long file name on Windows? Or does this depend on the version of Windows in use? Will Node.js sometimes return the long file name? For instance, one could use Node.js to write out a file on Windows with a long file name. Then trying to check for its existence later by calling fs.readdir on the parent directory might perhaps return an 8.3 file name in the results without the long file name. Would this be possible? Is there anyway to get both the 8.3 file name and long file name using Node.js?
