System Policy for Filenames

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello btrfs group:

 I would like to make a system policy that restricts the characters
used in a filename, tests filenames by regular expression, and
enforces case-insensitive-compatible exclusivity.

Where should I start?

I am trying to solve a few problems for my catproof Linux project.
* Compatibility with other systems.
* Protect users from   "-rf", or "*"  files that mess with shell
expansion and poorly written shell scripts.
* possibly ensure that I can type the filenames, and defend against
look-alike characters
(This would preferably just come up as a warning,  KDE converts a "/"
in a filename to a look-alike and broke my system, but I recognize
that I will need to access file names in multiple languages)


Thank you!
