the empty string has never been a valid relative pathname.

Hmm. I definitely recall otherwise.

The old Unix definition is that the empty string stands for "."
so that 'ls ""' means the same as 'ls .'
and 'ls /tmp/""' the same as 'ls /tmp/.'.

I'm aware of that.  I was talking about Linux and POSIX.


Thanks,
