ascii.exe dumps the 256 ascii characters to stdout using a nice format (GPL) dump.exe [file] hex dump of file to stdout, using a nice format (GPL) putclip.exe copies stdin to the Windows clipboard does NOT use Cygwin's /dev/clipboard Not built unless on a WIN32 platform (GPL) getclip.exe copies the Windows clipboard to stdout does NOT use Cygwin's /dev/clipboard Not built unless on a WIN32 platform (GPL) conv.exe / d2u.exe / u2d.exe / dos2unix.exe / unix2dos.exe programs for converting line endings of text files between DOS and UNIX format. (GPL) HEAVILY modified, but core routine is based on the hd2u-0.5.12 distribution, available here: http://www.megaloman.com/~hany/_data/hd2u/ by Peter Hanecak. msgtool.exe / shmtool.exe / semtool.exe / semstat.exe These programs were taken from "Linux Programmer's Guide - Chapter 6" with a few changes so that they build cleanly. The original versions were written by (C)opyright 1994-1995, Scott Burkett. ** MODULE: msgtool A command line tool for tinkering with SysV style Message Queues ** MODULE: semtool A command line tool for tinkering with SysV style Semaphore Sets ** MODULE: semstat Another tool for tinkering with Semaphore Sets ** MODULE: shmtool A command line tool for tinkering with shared memory For information on how to use these tools, call them with the '-?' option. Also, see the Linux Programmer's Guide -- the IPC chapter is included with the cygipc distribution. These tools can only be built if IPC functions are available. On cygwin, that (currently) means "only if the cygipc package is installed" or "if using a cygwin kernel newer than 1.5.5" (GPL) banner.exe prints a large banner to stdout. From Joerg Schaible. (GPL) realpath.exe Convert pathname argument to absolute path, with all references to `.', `..', and symlinks resolved. (GPL) lpr.exe can be used to spool to a windows printer (GPL) mkshortcut.exe can be used to create "full featured" windows shortcuts (as opposed to cygwin-symlinks implemented using .lnk files, which aren't really "full-featured") (GPL) readshortcut.exe can be used to read information from windows shortcuts (such as target, icon, window state, etc) (GPL) cygstart.exe A command-line tool which allows you to let Windows start a program or open a file or URL in its associated application. It is similar to the Windows command-line start command. (GPL) ipck: IPC utility brought over from cygipc. (GPL) cygicons: DLL containing cygwin-related icons (GPL) (*) originally BSD+advert, but falls under the blanket conversion to BSD-no-advert, because it was originally part of the UCB BSD distro. : Note: The advertising clause in the license appearing on BSD Unix files was officially rescinded by the Director of the Office of Technology Licensing of the University of California on July 22 1999. He states that clause 3 is "hereby deleted in its entirety." Note1: "last.exe" and "utmpdump.exe" were previously provided by cygutils. However, once the `sysvinit' package was added to the cygwin distribution, they were removed. They are now provided by `sysvinit' -- which is where we took them from in the first place. Note2: "cal.exe" "col.exe" "colcrt.exe" "colrm.exe" "column.exe" "ddate.exe" "getopt.exe" "mcookie.exe" "namei.exe" "rename.exe" "rev.exe" were previously provided by cygutils. However, they were removed in version 1.3.0 because the `util-linux' package was added to the cygwin distribution, and it provides those utilities. In fact, it was from util-linux that the versions in cygutils were originally derived.
