from Wikipedia article on filenames [1]:

| In addition, in Windows and DOS, some words might also be reserved
| and can not be used as filenames.[3] For example, DOS Device file:
|
| CON, PRN, AUX, CLOCK$, NUL
| COM0, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9
| LPT0, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, and LPT9.
