Hi,

I need to write files whose path exceed the maximum value of 260 characters.
Using Windows paths, you can add \\?\ as prefix, e.g., \\?\C:\Users\foo\bar\<file://%3f/C:/Users/foo/bar/>....

However, it seems like this is not the case in Cygwin. When I use \\?\/home/foo/bar<file://%3f/home/foo/bar>, I get no file pointer back.

Does someone have a clue how I can bypass this?

Best,
Fritjof
