The first match
http://mediasrv.ns.ac.yu/extra/fileformat/windows/lnk/shortcut.pdf
is what you're looking for and what I used when implementing the shortcut stuff.Thanks, this gets me more than halfway to what I need to know -- the missing piece is how these fields need to be filled out to appear as a symbolic link to cygwin. Worst case I can just hunt through the cygwin source, but if you happen to know or have notes lying around somewhere, it might be useful to more than just us to post them somewhere. Thanks again.
Your best source of information is probably symlink_worker() in <http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/winsup/cygwin/path.cc?content-type=text/plain&cvsroot=src&only_with_tag=HEAD>. HTH, Igor
