Greetings, Kristian Ivarsson via Cygwin! > If the user sets its TMP-variable to "C:\Jabba Dabba Dooo" or "/jabba dabba > doo", I expect the value of getenv("TMP") should be just that and regardless > of OS the value returned is whatever the variable is set to and not magically > changed to "/tmp"
That's how it works. It's just that Cygwin provides /tmp aliasing as a mount point option for a better usage experience. See /etc/fstab - the usertemp FS pseudotype. I.e. none /tmp usertemp binary,nouser,posix=1 0 0 If yo have a different TMP (than TEMP), check your shell startup for any redefinitions. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Sunday, September 20, 2020 10:16:54 Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
