Just use always the UNICODE API, rather than the ANSI API: #include DWORD my_GetFileAttributes (const char *cygwin_multibyte_filename) { DWORD attr = INVALID_FILE_ATTRIBUTES; PWCHAR w32_filename = cygwin_create_path (CCP_POSIX_TO_WIN_W, cygwin_multibyte_filename); if (w32_filename) { attr = GetFileAttributes (w32_filename); free (w32_filename); } return attr; } Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
