Hi-
I'm sometimes using a port of zsh (not the one built with the cygwin
toolkit) and when I run the cygwin 'find' command, for instance, it acts
as if the 'find' command (in its crt0 or whatever?) is expanding globs
that it gets. I don't want that to happen because my shell is already
doing that. So, if I do this:
find . -name '*.cpp' -perm +222 -ls
to find writeable .cpp files, I get this error:
/usr/bin/find.EXE: paths must precede expression
Usage: /usr/bin/find.EXE [path...] [expression]
How do the cygwin commands detect their parent & avoid the globbing stuff
when necessary if using the normal cygwin bash, for instance? Any
suggestions?
