Dear Pranit,


The following reserved device names cannot be used as the name of a
file:

CON, PRN, AUX, CLOCK$, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7,
COM8, COM9, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, and LPT9.

You must avoid using these names as a file name suffix or file name
body, so you have to avoid names such as aux.c, file.aux or NUL.txt.

forum.defcon.org/archive....php/t-4100.html

Those names are reserved cause they are 'DOS' device names.
