Cool, especially the -f which allows the same as `rpm -qf'. However, you asked for feedback... (I dropped the "Use -h to see..." from below examples, we should get rid of it anyway) On Cygwin: $ cygcheck -f /usr/bin/tcsh.exe /usr/bin/tcsh.exe: found in package tcsh-6.12.00-6 On Linux: $ rpm -qf /usr/bin/tcsh tcsh-6.12.00-134 Shouldn't we also just print the package name? It doesn't really matter, just a question... But we have two problems which are no problems in Linux and it would be nice(TM) to have a neat solution for them. Example: $ cygcheck -f /usr/bin/tcsh $ Huh? No .exe, no package :-( $ cygcheck -f /bin/tcsh $ Do you see what I mean? Since /bin and /usr/bin (same for /lib) are the same directory, one could ask for the same file in /bin and would not get the package reply. Bummer. I don't see that as a big problem for files in /lib but I guess you should expect that a good bunch of people don't get the idea to ask for the same file in /usr/bin again.
