What is a Filename?

All files have names. The name if a file is its filename. Different operating systems impose different restrictions on filenames. Most operating systems, for example, prohibit the use of certain characters in a filename and impose a limit on the length of a filename. In addition, many systems allow a filename extension that consists of one or more characters following the proper filename. The file extension usually indicates what type of file it is.
