sfn (Short FileName)

To get back to that good 'ol days of "Abort, Retry, Fail?"
First written by anson in the summer of 2023.

This is a short .c program featuring one main() function and a converter function, which is designed to convert passed strings representing hypothetical (or real perhaps) filenames to 8.3 short DOS filenames using Microsoft's standards.

This program will not modify any filenames or any files, and only prints results to stdout. sfn is mainly a visualization tool.

Usage and options can be read by invoking sfn --help at the command line. This project is licensed under the MIT License, See LICENSE for related details. Issues, bugs, and other things can be discussed at my E-Mail, [email protected]
