First off, you use slashes / as separator for directories and files on Linux/Unix, not backslashes \ like on MS OS'es. I guess that was just a typo Smilie
There is no restriction for any shell based command, that such files may not be created. You would have to write a front end or something your own, I guess.

Why is this so critical? Assuming as one possibility, can't your application that might read there just ignore all other kinds of files, that don't have the suffix/prefix you need or something like that?

The previous value of the file mode creation mask is returned. SEE ALSO
