27 msgtool.exe / shmtool.exe / semtool.exe / semstat.exe
28 These programs were taken from "Linux Programmer's
29 Guide - Chapter 6" with a few changes so that they
30 build cleanly. The original versions were written
31 by (C)opyright 1994-1995, Scott Burkett.
32 ** MODULE: msgtool
33 A command line tool for tinkering with SysV style
34 Message Queues
35 ** MODULE: semtool
36 A command line tool for tinkering with SysV style
37 Semaphore Sets
38 ** MODULE: semstat
39 Another tool for tinkering with Semaphore Sets
40 ** MODULE: shmtool
41 A command line tool for tinkering with shared memory
42 For information on how to use these tools, call them
43 with the '-?' option. Also, see the Linux Programmer's
44 Guide -- the IPC chapter is included with the cygipc
45 distribution.
46
47
48 These tools can only be built if IPC functions are
49 available. On cygwin, that (currently) means "only if
50 the cygipc package is installed" or "if using a cygwin
51 kernel newer than 1.5.5"
52 (GPLv3+)
53
54 banner.exe

60 (GPLv3+)
61
62 mkshortcut.exe
63 can be used to create "full featured" windows
64 shortcuts (as opposed to cygwin-symlinks implemented
65 using .lnk files, which aren't really "full-featured")
66 (GPLv3+)
67
68 readshortcut.exe
69 can be used to read information from windows shortcuts (such
70 as target, icon, window state, etc)
71 (GPLv3+)
72
73 cygstart.exe
74 A command-line tool which allows you to let Windows start a program or open
75 a file or URL in its associated application. It is similar to the Windows
76 command-line start command.
77 (GPLv3+)
78
79 cygdrop.exe
80 A command-line tool which allows you to let start a Cygwin or Windows
81 program with a restricted access token. All administrative rights are dropped

85
86 ipck:
87 IPC utility brought over from cygipc.
88 (GPLv3+)

92 (GPLv3+)
93
94 (*) originally BSD+advert, but falls under the blanket
95 conversion to BSD-no-advert, because it was originally
96 part of the UCB BSD distro.
97 <http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.html>:
98 Note: The advertising clause in the license appearing
99 on BSD Unix files was officially rescinded by the
100 Director of the Office of Technology Licensing of the
101 University of California on July 22 1999. He states
102 that clause 3 is "hereby deleted in its entirety."
103
104 Note1: "last.exe" and "utmpdump.exe" were previously provided by
105 cygutils. However, once the `sysvinit' package was added to
106 the cygwin distribution, they were removed. They are now
107 provided by `sysvinit' -- which is where we took them from
108 in the first place.
109
110 Note2: "cal.exe" "col.exe" "colcrt.exe" "colrm.exe" "column.exe"
111 "ddate.exe" "getopt.exe" "mcookie.exe" "namei.exe" "rename.exe"
112 "rev.exe"
113 were previously provided by cygutils. However, they were removed in
114 version 1.3.0 because the `util-linux' package was added to the
115 cygwin distribution, and it provides those utilities. In fact,
116 it was from util-linux that the versions in cygutils were originally
117 derived.
118
119 Note3: "ascii.exe" was previously provided by cygutils. However, it
120 was removed in version 1.4.8 because the separate ascii package was
121 added to the cygwin distribution.
122
123 Note4: "realpath.exe" was previously provided by cygutils. It was
124 removed in version 1.4.8 because newer releases of coreutils (>=8.15)
125 now provide that utility.
