How can the kernel possibly dictate what filenames are acceptable if it wants to interoperate with filesystems created by other operating systems?

- nessus42 15y agoif it wants to interoperate with filesystems created by other operating systems? That, of course, was not an issue back in the day, as Unix did not in fact support anything such thing. As for today, please do tell me how Unix can interoperate with filesystems that allow nulls and/or forward slashes in filenames. I'm sure that you might come up with an existing or potential solution, and well, there's your answer!
