symbolic links - case sensitivity

Question

I am having problems in a program trying to follow symbolic links, and tracked it down to an apparent case issue.

If I list the symbolic links it shows a target, but this does not exist.

ls -la "/User Guides And Information"
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  admin  60 21 Mar 11:28 /User Guides And Information -> /Library/Documentation/User Guides and Information.localized

There is similar target, which differs only in the case of "And", which Finder seems to find OK.

ls -la /Library/Documentation
drwxrwxr-x  10 root  admin     340 21 Mar 11:28 User Guides And Information.localized/

Is there some character set issue, or is Finder ignoring case?

Answer 1

这取决于您使用的操作系统和文件系统，但是可以，本机Mac文件系统通常不区分大小写。
