<c>+A</c> in <seealso marker="erts:erl">erl(1)</seealso>.</p>
- <p>The Erlang VM supports file names in Unicode to a limited
- extent. Depending on how the VM is started (with the parameter
- <c>+fnu</c> or <c>+fnl</c>), file names given can contain
- characters > 255 and the VM system will convert file names
- back and forth to the native file name encoding.</p>
+ <p>With regard to file name encoding, the Erlang VM can operate in
+ two modes. The current mode can be queried using the <seealso
+ marker="#native_name_encoding">native_name_encoding/0</seealso>
+ function. It returns either <c>latin1</c> or <c>utf8</c>.</p>
- <p>The default behavior for Unicode character translation depends
- on to what extent the underlying OS/filesystem enforces consistent
- naming. On OSes where all file names are ensured to be in one or
- another encoding, Unicode is the default (currently this holds for
- Windows and MacOSX). On OSes with completely transparent file
- naming (i.e. all Unixes except MacOSX), ISO-latin-1 file naming is
- the default. The reason for the ISO-latin-1 default is that
- file names are not guaranteed to be possible to interpret according to
- the Unicode encoding expected (i.e. UTF-8), and file names that
- cannot be decoded will only be accessible by using &quot;raw
- file names&quot;, in other word file names given as binaries.</p>
-
- <p>As file names are traditionally not binaries in Erlang,
- applications that need to handle raw file names need to be
- converted, why the Unicode mode for file names is not default on
- systems having completely transparent file naming.</p>
+ <p>In the <c>latin1</c> mode, the Erlang VM does not change the
+ encoding of file names. In the <c>utf8</c> mode, file names can
+ contain Unicode characters greater than 255 and the VM will
+ convert file names back and forth to the native file name encoding
+ (usually UTF-8, but UTF-16 on Windows).</p>
- <p>Raw file names is a new feature in OTP R14B01, which allows the
- user to supply completely uninterpreted file names to the
- underlying OS/filesystem. They are supplied as binaries, where it
- is up to the user to supply a correct encoding for the
- environment. The function <c>file:native_name_encoding()</c> can
- be used to check what encoding the VM is working in. If the
- function returns <c>latin1</c> file names are not in any way
- converted to Unicode, if it is <c>utf8</c>, raw file names should
- be encoded as UTF-8 if they are to follow the convention of the VM
- (and usually the convention of the OS as well). Using raw
- file names is useful if you have a filesystem with inconsistent
- file naming, where some files are named in UTF-8 encoding while
- others are not. A file:list_dir on such mixed file name systems
- when the VM is in Unicode file name mode might return file names as
- raw binaries as they cannot be interpreted as Unicode
- file names. Raw file names can also be used to give UTF-8 encoded
- file names even though the VM is not started in Unicode file name
- translation mode.</p>
+ <p>The default mode depends on the operating system. Windows and
+ MacOS X enforce consistent file name encoding and therefore the
+ VM uses the <c>utf8</c> mode.</p>
+
+ <p>On operating systems with transparent naming (i.e. all Unix
+ systems except MacOS X), the default will be <c>utf8</c> if the
+ terminal supports UTF-8, otherwise <c>latin1</c>. The default may
+ be overridden using the <c>+fnl</c> (to force <c>latin1</c> mode)
+ or <c>+fnu</c> (to force <c>utf8</c> mode) when starting <seealso
+ marker="erts:erl">erl</seealso>.</p>
+
+ <p>On operating systems with transparent naming, files could be
+ inconsistently named, i.e. some files are encoded in UTF-8 while
+ others are encoded in (for example) iso-latin1. To be able to
+ handle file systems with inconsistent naming when running in the
+ <c>utf8</c> mode, the concept of "raw file names" has been
+ introduced.</p>
+
+ <p>A raw file name is a file name given as a binary. The Erlang VM
+ will perform no translation of a file name given as a binary on
+ systems with transparent naming.</p>
+
+ <p>When running in the <c>utf8</c> mode, the
+ <c>file:list_dir/1</c> and <c>file:read_link/1</c> functions will
+ never return raw file names. Use the <seealso
+ marker="#list_dir_all">list_dir_all/1</seealso> and <seealso
+ marker="#read_link_all">read_link_all/1</seealso> functions to
+ return all file names including raw file names.</p>
+
+ <p>Also see <seealso marker="stdlib:unicode_usage#notes-about-raw-filenames">Notes about raw file names</seealso>.</p>
- <p>Note that on Windows, <c>file:native_name_encoding()</c>
- returns <c>utf8</c> per default, which is the format for raw
- file names even on Windows, although the underlying OS specific
- code works in a limited version of little endian UTF16. As far as
