I haven't yet seen anyone propose it for POSIX, but it would indeed be a welcome addition there. Also it would be a welcome addition to have pathconfat(), although this hasn't yet happened on the Linux side of things, let alone any POSIX proposal. At any rate, +1 for having this in cygwin. -- -- Eric Blake eblake <at> redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org

When I read this patch proposal the first time I thought something like "scan-di-rat? What the heck does *that* mean? A couple of days later I still tend to pronounce it "scan-di-rat" rather than "scan-dir-at", and I have serious doubts that I will adapt... Corinna
