Hello,
Hacked up this one liner function for getting a files actual windows
details/properties information. I needed a tertiary way to compare
executable/drivers, so a version number from windows seemed like a viable
option. Hopefully someone will find this handy, seeing as i feel so guilty for
not contributing more to such a wonderful project like Cygwin. So appreciative
of the maintainers and everyone else associated with the CYGWIN project. My
email for some reason keep getting rejected by the list, so the level of praise
goes up with each revision.
#get file details from windows via wmic wmi formatted call condensed
finfo() { [[ -f "$(cygpath "$@")" ]] || { echo "bad-file";return 1;}; echo
"$(wmic datafile where name=\""$(echo "$(cygpath -wa "$@")"|sed
's/\\/\\\\/g')"\" get /value)"|sed 's/\r//g;s/^M$//;/^$/d'|awk -F"=" '{print
$1"=""\033[1m"$2"\033[0m"}';}
ex:
$ finfo notepad.exe
$ finfo "C:\windows\system32\notepad.exe"
$ finfo /cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/notepad.exe
$ finfo "/cygdrive/c/Program Files/notepad.exe"
$ finfo ../notepad.exe
There is no doubt the brilliant people here could have done a better job, but
like i said, i just needed to contribute something. And if you are a gamer you
might appreciate this https://github.com/jonretting/geforce-driver-check
Cheers,
