Hi all,
cygwin-1.1.8-2.tar.gz
bash-2.04-7a.tar.gz
there is a subtle difference between c:/ and //c/
compare the real execution times (this is for a local desktop bash
(not via ssh)):
bash$ time cd //c/
real 0m0.050s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.000s
bash$ time cd c:/
real 0m6.770s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.000s
bash$ mount
Device Directory Type Flags
C:\cygwin\bin /usr/bin system binmode
C:\cygwin\lib /usr/lib system binmode
C:\cygwin / system binmode
What's the deal with the LETTER:/PATH pathnames in bash? Am I
supposed to use //c/? Is c:/ deprecated somehow?
