Object names
When you create an object, you give it a name. Object names:
- Can contain any characters except the NULL character (ASCII 0 (zero)). This includes nonprinting characters such as spaces and line breaks although they are not recommended for use.
- Are case sensitive.
- Cannot consist of a single period (.) or a single forward slash (/).
.directory-metadata is a reserved name. You cannot create an object with this name.
You cannot directly change the name of an object. However, you can effectively rename an object by making a copy of it with a different name and then deleting the original.
