* maint: stdlib: Correct a filelib test case stdlib: Let filelib:find_source() search subdirs
2018-01-05stdlib: Let filelib:find_source() search subdirsHans Bolinder
The Design Principles states that an application can have Erlang source files one level below the "src" directory, and now filelib:find_source() by default searches one level below "src". The same applies to "esrc". That directory is only mentioned in filename(3).
2017-10-12Revert "Merge branch 'rickard/null-char-filenames/ERL-370/OTP-14543' into maint"Rickard Green
This reverts commit 0717a2194e863f3a78595184ccc5637697f03353, reversing changes made to 71a40658a0cef8b3e25df3a8e48a72d0563a89bf.
2017-10-11Don't allow null chars in various stringsRickard Green
Various places that now reject null chars inside strings - Primitive file operations reject it in filenames. - Primitive environment variable operations reject it in names and values. - os:cmd() reject it in its input. Also '=' characters are rejected by primitive environment variable operations in environment variable names. Documentation has been updated to document null characters in these types of data as invalid. Currently these operations accept null chars at the end of strings, but that will change in the future.

* maint: filename: Add safe_relative_path/1 Conflicts: lib/stdlib/src/filename.erl
2017-02-21filename: Add safe_relative_path/1Björn Gustavsson
Add safe_relative_path/1 to guard against directory traversal attacks. It either returns a shorter path without any ".." or "." components, or 'unsafe' if an ".." component would climb up above the root of the relative path. Here are a few examples: safe_relative_path("a/b/..") => "a" safe_relative_path("a/..") => "" safe_relative_path("a/../..") => unsafe safe_relative_path("/absolute/path") => unsafe The returned path can be used directly or combined with an absolute path using filename:join/2.

2009-12-03documentation: Fix bugs introduced in the SGML to XML transitionHans Bolinder
In the transition from SGML to XML (several releases ago), bugs were introduced in the documentation, for instance "\n" replaced by newlines. Correct those bugs. Also correct double backslashes. They seem to have been introduced very early in the development of OTP. According to Lars they "solved" a bug in the generation of HTML &c. Now that standard tools are used instead of docbuilder, the bug has become visible.
