Really this whole thread is a joke. He needs to just
cygpath -ml "$2" &>/dev/null
as others have said and be done with it.

That might better be written as this
[ "$2" ] && NATIVE=$(cygpath -ml "$2")
You do not need the extra quotes when setting a variable in this way.

I would like to request a small functional change for cygpath.
In the event of empty given path argument (i.e. `cygpath -ml ""') silently
return an empty result without error message.
This would greatly simplify wrapper scripts.

Greetings, All!
I would like to request a small functional change for cygpath.
In the event of empty given path argument (i.e. `cygpath -ml ""') silently
return an empty result without error message.
This would greatly simplify wrapper scripts.
