Re: 'cygpath -ml <posix_8.3_path>' bug?


Lee,

Perhaps. In particular, if one uses Windows mode (instead of mixed mode) you get the result I think you were expecting (except, of course, for the orientation of the name separators).

Witness:

% cygpath -d /cygdrive/d/Documents\ and\ Settings/
d:\DOCUME~1\

% cygpath -lm "d:\DOCUME~1\"
cygpath -lm "d:\DOCUME~1\"
d:/DOCUME~1/

% cygpath -w "d:\DOCUME~1\"
d:\DOCUME~1\

% cygpath -lw "d:\DOCUME~1\"
d:\Documents and Settings\

My reading of the cygpath documentation and
embedded help is that:

cygpath -ml /cygdrive/c/docume~1

or:

cygpath --mixed --long-name /cygdrive/c/docume~1

should output:

c:/Documents and Settings

Of course:

cygpath --mixed "$(cygpath --windows --long-name /cygdrive/c/docume~1)"

does yields the correct results.

Isn't this a bug in 'cygpath'?
