cygcheck doesn't handle the "max arg length" as shown by "xargs"... I.e. -
cygcheck -f /bin/*
bash: /usr/bin/cygcheck: Argument list too long
echo /bin/*|xargs cygcheck -f
xargs: cygcheck: Argument list too long #Note: cygcheck /bin/[a-r]* # works (wc -wc = 1780 32365) cygcheck /bin/[a-s]* # fails (wc -wc = 1874 33917) # -- looks like a 2^15 boundary prob?
xargs --show-limits
Your environment variables take up 3867 bytes POSIX upper limit on argument length (this system): 1042661 POSIX smallest allowable upper limit on argument length (all systems): 4096 Maximum length of command we could actually use: 1038794 Size of command buffer we are actually using: 1042661 Guess cygcheck isn't a POSIX app? -l -- 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/
