extract_all: sanitize ':' out of block-name filenames for Windows#142
Merged
Conversation
NTFS treats ':' as the alternate-data-stream separator, so File::create rejects names like 'flexspi0::Flexspi0.yaml' with ERROR_INVALID_NAME (123). Replace '::' with '__' when forming on-disk filenames in extract_per_block (and the analogous shortest-name path in extract_per_namespace). The downstream nxp-pac post-processing strips the namespace from the filename anyway, so the new separator is transparent there.
