@file handling in Cygwin


Does anyone know if Cygwin is supposed to handle command syntax like "ls
@lsflags" where lsflags is a text file containing some command line
options for "ls"?  I have located a function called insert_file() inside
dcrt0.cc which has a comment talking about replacing -@file in the
command line with the contents of the file.  However, I have tried to
enter "ls @lsflags" inside bash running under Cygwin1.dll version 1.3.10
and 1.3.11 but it always returns an error of "No such file or
directory".
