- doschk - check filenames for DOS (and SYSV) compatibility
-
- This program is intended as a utility to help software developers
- ensure that their source file names are distinguishable on MS-DOS and
- 14-character SYSV platforms. To perform this task, doschk reads a
- list of filenames and produces a report of all the conflicts that
- would arise if the files were transferred to a MS-DOS or SYSV
- platform.
-
- To use this program, you must feed it a list of filenames in this
- format:
-
- dir
- dir/file1.ext
- dir/file2.exe
- dir/dir2
- dir/dir2/file3.ext
-
- If the list does not include the directory-only lines (like dir/dir2)
- then their names will not be checked for uniqueness, else they will
- be. Typical uses of this program are like these:
-
- find . -print | doschk
- tar tf file.tar | doschk
-
- If this program produces no output, then all your files are MS-DOS
- compatible. Any output messages are designed to be self-explanatory
- and indicate cases where the files will not transfer to MS-DOS without
- problems.
-
- Please report bugs to bug-gnu-utils@prep.ai.mit.edu.
