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

56 (GPLv3+)
57
58 realpath.exe
59 Convert pathname argument to absolute path, with all
60 references to `.', `..', and symlinks resolved. Note
61 that modern coreutils provide 'readlink' with a
62 canonicalize mode (-f/-e/-m) that operates substantially
63 similar to realpath.
64 (GPLv3+)
65
66 lpr.exe
67 can be used to spool to a windows printer
68 (GPLv3+)
69
70 mkshortcut.exe
71 can be used to create "full featured" windows
72 shortcuts (as opposed to cygwin-symlinks implemented
73 using .lnk files, which aren't really "full-featured")
74 (GPLv3+)
75
76 readshortcut.exe
77 can be used to read information from windows shortcuts (such
78 as target, icon, window state, etc)
79 (GPLv3+)
80
81 cygstart.exe
82 A command-line tool which allows you to let Windows start a program or open
83 a file or URL in its associated application. It is similar to the Windows
84 command-line start command.
85 (GPLv3+)
86
87 cygdrop.exe
88 A command-line tool which allows you to let start a Cygwin or Windows
89 program with a restricted access token. All administrative rights are dropped

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107 on BSD Unix files was officially rescinded by the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