Fabrice,

It would seem that the answer is right there on the page you referenced. You can script a change to that registry entry via the Cygwin regtool script. You can do this in an install or post-install script or upon each invocation of your application, providing it's invoked via a script.



I can write a script, but then it would require to install cygwin and bash (and maybe other things) for the
end-user, while at the moment I just provide the cygwin.dll. I was looking for something that uses the
cygwin_XXX API.



There is no Cygwin API. You might be able to do something with /proc/registry eventually. Of course, you can always use Win32 APIs.

If I try to change the /proc/registry/.. ../Cygwin/heap_chunk_in_mb file, it is an Administrator owned file and cannot be overwritten by a user. Is the /proc/registry directory created each time a cygwin program starts?
