Multiple files with the same name in the same directory
Hi,
Is it possible to have multiple files with the same name in a same unix directory?
Eg., in the path \tmp, can we have 2 files with the same name as SALES_data_20120124.TXT?
I heard it is possible if the user id that is created the files are different and with some ids, a new gets generated instead of overwriting the exsisting one. Is this true?
Thanks
