Subject: Detecting case sensitivity
Date: Tue, 20 Sep 2016 23:54:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <7d6249c4-0904-b80f-39ed-69ddfbb675f4@cornell.edu> (raw)
I found an old discussion
(https://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-08/msg00594.html) about the
possibility of adding a _PC_CASE_INSENSITIVE flag to pathconf. Has
anyone thought further about this? I would find this useful for emacs[*].
I've taken a quick look at the pathconf code, and it looks like it
wouldn't be difficult to add this. I could try to provide a patch if
the powers that be would be receptive.
Ken
