Proposed resolution:

Change 4.7 [fs.def.filename]:

The name of a file. Filenames dot  and dot-dot  have special meaning. The following characteristics of filenames are operating system dependent:

  • The permitted characters. [Example: Some operating systems prohibit the ASCII control characters (0x00-0x1F) in filenames. — end example].

  • The maximum permitted length.
  • Filenames that are not permitted.

  • Filenames that have special meaning.

  • Case awareness and sensitivity during path resolution.

  • Special rules that may apply to file types other than regular files, such as directories.

Addresses: filesys.ts

Filename lengths are also implementation dependent. This is not the same as FILENAME_MAX that specifies the maximum length of pathnames.

Add a bullet: "Length of filenames."
