I need to convert unix device nodes such as /dev/sda to Windows device names within an application. cygpath returns devices such as:
> cygpath -w /dev/sda \\.\PhysicalDrive0 That can be opened by both open(2) and CreateFile since it resides in the global namespace, but cygwin_conv_path returns \Device\Harddisk0\Partition0 which cygwin can't access. Shouldn't cygpath and cygwin_conv_path returns the same paths? -- Bruce Cran -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
