Actually, this is not renamed but newly introduced only for non-cygwin (native) apps. > This trips up https://github.com/k-takata/ptycheck to detect the > cygpty which is used in various code bases.

The name "from-master" is still used for cygwin processes. However, the naming was not appropriate. The name of output pipes are: "ptyNNNN-to-master-cyg" for cygwin process, and "ptyNNNN-to-master" for non-cygwin process. However, the name of input pipes are: "ptyNNNN-from-master" for cygwin process, and "ptyNNNN-to-slave" for non-cygwin process. This is not only consistent but also very confusing. I would like to rename these pipes to: "ptyNNNN-from-master-cyg" for cygwin process, "ptyNNNN-from-master" for non-cygwin process. Corinna, is it possble to apply the patch for 3.2.0 release? -- Takashi Yano <takashi.y...@nifty.ne.jp> -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
