I know that Solaris has an intro(1) manual page which describes general command behaviour, standard option parsing, etc. I guess that might be a suitable place, but cygwin has no such manual page. > Where did you read about the behavior in "all UNIXes I work on"? > We should probably document it in a similar place for cygwin. That turned out to be an incorrect assumption on my part. I have worked with many UNIX flavours, and assumed that I had been using this syntax on all of them, but it turned out to be that I had only used it on Solaris where this syntax actually works. > We'd certainly appreciate a patch to our documentation.

I'm not sure where it really ought to be documented. :-/ Peter -- People say I'm indifferent, but I don't care. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
