It's used as separator in various places on *nix (eg PATH).
- ygra 10y agoSo are semicolons on Windows, yet still legal in file names. For PATH you can just quote the ones containing the separator (at least on Windows).
- cygx 10y agoTraditionally, there's no way to quote in PATH on *nix. I do not believe that's changed, so if you cannot just change the name, you'd need to use a workaround like creating a colon-free symlink.
