9.2 FILE NAMING CONVENTION

Aryan: Ok, But when I was working with different modes on files, I saw names of
different files. Is there some convention to be followed while naming the files?

Gowri: All the file systems follow the same general naming conventions for an
individual file: “a base file name and an optional extension, separated by a period”.

Aryan: Extension is what defines which application the file belongs to. For example, when we
worked with Calc, the extension for a Calc file was .ods.

Gowri: Some of the basic rules followed while naming files in Windows are listed below:

Use a period to separate the base file name from the extension in
the name of a directory or file.

Use a backslash (\) to separate the components of a path.

Use a backslash as required as part of volume names, for example,
“C:\” in “C:\path\file”.

Do not assume case sensitivity. For example, WINDOWS and
windows should be treated equal.

Use any character in the current code page for a name, including Unicode
characters and characters in the extended character set (128–255) except
for the following reserved characters:

< (less than)
> (greater than)

: (colon)

“ (double quote)

/ (forward slash)
