Hello,

was it considered to add a flag to cygpath to output a path in unc format?


For example, the folder

C:\test.

cannot be accessed from many Windows applications (powershell and cmd included) because of the trailing dot, while cygwin has no issue creating, accessing and deleting such files/folders.

Using an unc path

\\?\C:\test.

solves the issue for some programs, but cygpath currently misses an option for creating such path.

Notice that creating a dos path leads to an error.
