HFS Plus volumes include a special special directory called the metadata directory, in the volume's root directory, called "\0\0\0\0HFS+ Private Data". https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/technotes/tn/tn1150.html#HFSPlusNames There are, I believe, Carbon APIs for checking for file names which do not rely on NUL-terminated strings (they use an array of Unicode characters with an explicit length), but I don't know enough about OS X APIs to know if they are current generation. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33721> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
