For the third time this thread, yes, you can, you just have to escape
the path name to prevent the win32 api from translating the name to the
non existent AUX device. From a command line you can do:
echo foo > \\?\c:\aux
And it will work just fine. The only place the name "AUX" has any
meaning is in the win32 api layers that translate certain device names
to the real kernel path. The kernel and filesystem will store whatever
name you choose for compatibility with the posix subsystem.
I have a dual-boot lap-top so I tried to create a file called
"AUX" using `echo "">AUX`, under Linux-2.4.26. The error-code
was "Invalid argument". This is a "vfat" file-system. I was
able to create the device-name "CLOCK$", which is reserved in
DOS. I'm now rebooting the laptop, it should be interesting
to see if it still works! .... Yep. It's not a reserved name
in Win/2000.
