This code now seems redundant:
if (strcmp(fn, ".") == 0 ||
strcmp(fn, "..") == 0)
return true;
I would probably reverse the order of these two tests. It might not make
any difference, assuming fn is never an empty string, but it seems more
logical to me.
+ /* good to go if only digits */
+ if (fn[pos] == '\0')
+ return false;
+ /* leave if no digits */
+ if (pos == 0)
+ return true;
It also looks to me like the check for a segment number doesn't ensure there is at least one digit, so "123." might
pass,but I could be wrong. In any case, there isn't a test for that, and there probably should be.
