Method Detail

isValid

public static boolean isValid(String name)

Determine whether or not the given name is valid.

Names in jvvfs are specifically not allowed to contain:

• Forward slashes (['/'], ASCII [0x2f]), as this is used as a path separator on UNIX and in jvvfs virtual paths.
• Backslashes (['\'], ASCII [0x5c]), as this is used as a path separator on Microsoft Windows.
• A series of two or more dots (['.'], ASCII [0x2e]), as this is a reserved name on UNIX-like platforms.
• Colons ([':'], ASCII [0x3a]), as these are used to identify "drives" on some operating systems.
• Null (ASCII [0x0]), as almost no operating systems permit these in file names.

Empty strings are not considered to be valid names.

Parameters:

name - The name.

Returns:

true if the name is valid.
