- methods for Cygwin file specs

require ; # Done internally by :Spec if needed

See :Spec and . This package overrides the implementation of these methods, not the semantics.

This module is still in beta. Cygwin-knowledgeable folks are invited to offer patches and suggestions.

canonpath

Any \ (backslashes) are converted to / (forward slashes), and then canonpath() is called on the result.

file_name_is_absolute

True is returned if the file name begins with drive_letter:, and if not, file_name_is_absolute() is called.

tmpdir (override)

Returns a string representation of the first existing directory from the following list: $ENV{TMPDIR} /tmp $ENV{TMP} $ENV{TEMP} C:/temp If running under taint mode, and if the environment variables are tainted, they are not used.

case_tolerant

Override Unix. Cygwin case-tolerance depends on managed mount settings and as with MsWin32 on GetVolumeInformation() $ouFsFlags == FS_CASE_SENSITIVE, indicating the case significance when comparing file specifications. Default: 1
