| Nov 7, 2018 at 14:26 | comment | added | Allan | Your first and second sentences in your question (incorrectly) interchange aliases and symlinks. A *nix alias is not a symlink or vice versa. A file extension has nothing to do the filesystem. | |
| Nov 7, 2018 at 14:21 | comment | added | DannyNiu | I'm a skilled Unix programmer and is certain that I've not confused them. There's no standard extension for extra file types on FAT32, that's why I'm concerned with portability and compatibility. | |
| Nov 7, 2018 at 14:15 | comment | added | Allan | I think you're confusing Unix symlinks and Apple aliases. See this answer for clarification: apple.stackexchange.com/a/240552/119271. A Unix symlink is just a file that's a pointer to another file - there's nothing special and it's portable across all *nixes provided you can mount the file system (this includes Cygwin) | |
