Is Linux case-sensitive?

What will be an ideal response?


This can be a confusing issue. Linux itself differentiates between uppercase and lowercase
characters. In the file system, for example, the file “abc” and “ABC” are not the same file. So you
would say that Linux is case-sensitive. However, applications may or may not make this
distinction. For example, e-mail addresses processed by sendmail (or most other mail programs)
are not case-sensitive because the e-mail message standard specifies that addresses should be case-
insensitive.
