Expand description

What an item’s name is called on disk.

An item’s name stays in metadata.json exactly as it came, so a library made on a Mac round-trips byte for byte, but not every such name can be a Windows file: : would write to a hidden stream of another file, \ and a drive letter would lead out of the item’s folder, and CON is a device. on_disk turns a file name into the one Windows keeps it under, which is the name the usual tools give such a file when they copy a library over. Elsewhere every name is its own.

Functions§

The name file is kept under on this system.
