Hi all,

I wonder if someone could tell me how UNIX/Linux deals with UNICODE
filenames.

How would you open an file with a UNICODE name? I have seen a
wide-character string version of fopen() called _wfopen() but this seems
to be indigenous to Micky$oft Windoze and their own 'version' of the
ANSI C library.

Is there such a call in the C runtime library on Linux?

Regards,

Chris
