Hi, First, I have read the FAQ and this mailing archive :)
Here is the problem I meet: In a directory are placed three files using windows 8's explorer: - a short Cyrillic filename "абваб.txt" - a long Cyrillic filename "абвабвабвабвабвабвабвабвабвабвабвабвабвабвабвабвабвабвабвабвабвабвабвабвабвабвабвабвабвабвабвабвабвабвабвабвабвабвабвабвабвабваб.txt" - a long Latin filename "ababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababa.txt" >From a C program compiled under Cygwin, I can obtain the corresponding filename strings using readdir_r()... "\320\260\320\261\320\262\320\260\320\261.txt" "\320\260\320\261\320\262\320\260\320\261\320\262\320\260\320\261 [snipped]" "abababababaababababa [snipped]" ... but passing these strings in turn to lstat() or stat() returns 0 as expected for all except for the long Cyrillic filename. For for this string a get a negative value from lstat() and stat() and errno is set to ENOENT (while the entry is still present). using "ls" instead of my own program gives something similar: the long Cyrillic filename is listed but no permission, username, groupname or data are displayed, these are replaced by question marks. Is there something special to do and that I missed in order to read long Cyrillic filenames from a C program under Cygwin? Thanks for any help, Regards, Denis. -- 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
