NAME¶
doschk - checks filenames for SYSV and DOS compatibility
SYNOPSIS¶
doschk
filename ...
DESCRIPTION¶
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.
