Subject: Cygwin generates syscalls for *.lnk files on filesystems with native symlink support?
Date: Fri, 1 Sep 2023 06:23:57 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CALXu0UfRxk5G=3OjbwoNFW7xSj1rHTNw5giS6YZb9p1gF5ceTA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Good morning!

During a Cygwin 3.4.8-1.x86_64 debugging session I noticed something
odd when I looked at the network traffic generated by one of our
cluster nodes:
It seems that for each call to a tool (i.e. starting "sed" from
"bash") Cygwin searches for *.lnk files.

Is this correct even when the filesystem in question has native
symlink support (e.g. NFS)?

Also, searching for sed.sh.exe.lnk looks weird. Bug, or feature?
