Subject: [pushed] wwwdocs: codingconventions: Recommend "file name" over "filename"
Date: Fri, 14 Apr 2023 23:51:12 +0200 (CEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230414215115.2011733E1A@hamza.pair.com> (raw)

This is based on an exchange with Sandra and Joseph back in, umm, 
April 2018.

Pushed for now.

This aligns with the C and C++ standards as well as the GNU Coding
Standards, though POSIX uses "filename" as a component of "pathname".
