Might the ability to identify cygwin's root be a good
thing to add to cygpath? (Note: I'm not commenting on
Corinna's proposal per se - hers was just the latest
email in this thread.)
Under "System information", one could have an option
-R, --root output cygwin root directory
where
$ cygpath -Rw
C:\cygwin
$ cygpath -Ru
/cygdrive/c/cygwin
or, if the cygdrive prefix has been changed to a simple /,
$ cygpath -Ru
/c/cygwin
Just an idea. Unfortunately, I cannot propose a patch.
Thanks for considering this.
- Barry
