Neat. Is there any way to tell the type of the key's value using this interface? For example if I wanted to modify a key's value through "echo foo > /prog/registry/.../Key", how do I tell Cygwin that I want the type to be REG_EXPAND_SZ, REG_DWORD, REG_MULTI_SZ, REG_SZ, etc? Conversely is there a way to determine the type when reading? It appears that Cygwin does what you expect (e.g. returning a \0 delimited list for REG_MULTI_SZ) but is there any way to ask it directly? This is yet another really cool Cygwin feature that I had no idea about until now... :-) Brian -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
