Date: Thu, 26 Apr 2012 13:35:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2BF01EB27B56CC478AD6E5A0A28931F2044EA8DD@A1DAL1SWPES19MB.ams.acs-inc.net> (raw)
The cygcheck manpage has some unsightlies:
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
$ man cygcheck
NAME
- List system information, check installed packages, or query
package
database.
...
Note: -c, -f, and -l only report on packages that are
currently
installed. To
search all official Cygwin packages use -p instead.
The -p REGEXP matches
package names, descriptions, and names of files/paths
within all
packages.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Better:
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
$ man cygcheck
NAME
cygcheck - List system information, check installed packages, or
query
package database.
...
Note: -c, -f, and -l only report on packages that are
currently
installed. To search all official Cygwin packages use -p instead.
The
-p REGEXP matches package names, descriptions, and names of
files/paths
within all packages.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
