Yes. I tried various mechanisms for testing this such as
dir ". "
rename ". " "mydir"
etc all to no avail. And also I see the / after the listing:
ls -al /m
total 16
drwxr-xr-x 14 fergus ver_1.5 0 Jan 1 1970 ./
drwxr-xr-x 14 fergus ver_1.5 0 Jan 1 1970 ./
drwxr-xr-x 15 fergus ver_1.5 0 Jan 1 1970 ../
<etc etc>
These are not safe checks. I've got weird directory names created myself
which contained control characters that rendered invisible...
Do either of:
ls | od -ab
or
ls | od -t ax1
or
ls > ls
and inspect the output with a binary-transparent editor (e.g. mined :) )
