Hi
I found a strange behaviour of the program cygpath program
0 >cygpath -w "./*/*" <--- IMHO wrong output
\
0 >cygpath -w "./*/*" | od -a <--- a detailed dump
0000000 o nul * \ o nul * nl
0000010
0 >cygpath -wp "./*/*" <-- but this works as expected
*\*
Is this bug or expected behavior ?
Pls, answer to me in To:, I'm not a permanent member of the cygwin email
list.
I found it during assembly of the Java CLASSPATH variable, which may
contain the "*" character at the end to cover all .jar in the specified
directory.
Tomas
