ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a system, method, and program for processing an input file in a file system, wherein the input file has an input file name. A function is applied to map the input file name to a value. A data structure is processed to determine whether there is a preexisting file in the file system having a name that maps, according to the function, to the same value to which the input file name maps. Two files that map to a same value according to the function are capable of having a same name.
