cygpath
USAGE
cygpath [-p|--path] (-u|--unix)|(-w|--windows) filename
cygpath [-v|--version]
DESCRIPTION
The cygpath program is a utility
that converts Windows native filenames to Cygwin POSIX-style pathnames
and back. It can be used when a Cygwin program needs to pass a filename
to a native windows program, or when it expects to get a filename
from a native windows program. You may use the long or short option names
interchangeably, even though only the short ones are described.
The -u and -w options
indicate whether you want a conversion from windows to Unix (POSIX) format
(-u) or a conversion from Unix (POSIX) to Windows format (-w).
You must give exactly one of these. To give neither or both is an error.
The -p option means that you want
to convert a path-style string rather than a single filename. For example,
the PATH environment variable is semicolon-delimited in Windows,
but colon-delimited in Unix. By giving -p you are instructing
cygpath
to convert between these formats. Consider the following example’s usage.
#!/bin/sh
for i in `echo *.exe | sed 's/\.exe/cc/'`
do
notepad `cygpath -w $i`
done
