Re: readshortcut app for cygutils

Hello,

As per http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-08/msg00640.html, I have
(almost) ready a program called "readshortcut", which reads info from a
windows shortcut and outputs it in an easily parseable format.

e.g.

$ readshortcut ~/desktop/editplus.lnk
c:\program files\editplus\editplus.exe


As Igor suggessted in the above linked message, this should be added to cygutils as a complement to mkshortcut.

Can I get some agreement on this?

I'm willing to incorporate it into cygutils, if there are no objections from the list.


Have you read /usr/share/doc/cygutils-1.2.1/HOW-TO-CONTRIBUTE yet?

About the app itself: I think it should provide the result in either unix format (-u/--unix) or windows format (-w/--windows), without requiring cygpath.exe -- instead, use the cygwin functions cygwin_conv_to_posix_path() and cygwin_conv_to_win32_path().
