When i was creating a new folder for my games ... i got an error while giving a name to the folder like " aux " ... i did not understand
why error occurred .. then i got to know why it came like that ....
" AUX , NUL,CON, COM1-4, LPT1-3, and PRN " are reserved words used for DOS Devices .. These are specified in " IO.SYS " of the MS Dos days. Here is a brief list for the codes
Code :
CONFIG$ - Unknown
CLOCK$ - System clock
LPT1 or PRN - First parallel port
AUX or COM1 - First serial communicationport
COM2 - Second, Third, ... communicationport
NUL - Dummy port, or the "null device" which we all know under Linux as /dev/null.
CON - Console; combination of keyboard and screen to handle input and output
