SunOS 5.5 File Systems hsfs(7FS)
Under MS-DOS (for which CD-ROMs are frequently targeted), files with no extension may
be represented either as filename. or filename (that is, with or without a trailing period).
These names are not equivalentunder UNIX systems. For example, the names
BAR.
and
BAR
are not names for the same file under the UNIX system. This may cause confusion if you
are consulting documentation for CD-ROMs originally intended for MS-DOS systems.
Use of the −o notraildot option to mount(1M) makes it optional to specify the trailing
dot. (See mount_hsfs(1M)).
NOTES No translation of any sort is done on the contents of High Sierra or ISO 9660 format CD-
ROM
s; only directory and file names are subject to interpretation by HSFS.
