When the decimal value is exactly 0.5, then printf should round to the nearest *even* integer, as far as I know, so you should get 0 - 0 0.5 - 0 1 - 1 1.5 - 2 2 - 2 2.5 - 2 3 - 3 3.5 - 4 4 - 4 4.5 - 4 5 - 5 Now I realize that Cygwin's printf doesn't get it right, because seq 0 .5 5 | while read x; do printf '%-3s - %.0f\n' $x $x; done gives 0 - 0 0.5 - 1 1 - 1 1.5 - 1 2 - 2 2.5 - 2 3 - 3 3.5 - 3 4 - 4 4.5 - 4 5 - 5 Both Solaris' /bin/printf and Perl's printf() give the right output. In your examples there is also an additional issue, which is how numerical values are represented. Here is Perl: seq .105 .01 .155 | while read x; do printf '%-5s - %.2f\n' $x $x; done 0.105 - 0.10 0.115 - 0.12 0.125 - 0.12 0.135 - 0.14 0.145 - 0.14 0.155 - 0.15 They all seem correct expect the last one. The reason why 0.155 becomes 0.15 and not 0.16 is that 0.115 can not be represented exactly. It is represented as a number which is slightly *smaller* than 0.155, so it becomes 0.15 after rounding.

`touch' created wrong file without giving error
I tried creating a file named foo , i.e., with two leading and two trailing blanks using touch. It turned out that touch created the file, but without the two trailing blanks. It might be that a file name with trailing blanks can't be created on an NTFS file system, but touch shouldn't create the wrong file but rather give an error telling that it failed. Silently creating the wrong name is generally bad: $ touch ' foo ' $ echo $? 0 $ for file in *foo*; do echo |$file|; done | foo| ^^ touch returned exit status 0, but failed to create the file. ls also shows that the file only has the leading blanks: $ ls -b *foo* \ \ foo Should touch return an error when it fails?

RE: csh color codes
I am running the latest Cygwin on my Win2k and I'm using csh as the standard shell. The color mode for XTerm is enabled and works fine, e.g. with ls --color. However I have a problem to figure out how to generate the appropriate control (escape) sequences to included colors in shell script outputs. I have some shell scripts here which originate from a HP-UX based csh. There, the escape sequences are generated by pressing Ctrl + V + Esc + [ + 'code', where 'code' is e.g. 1m for bold or 32m for green (= ^[[32m). However, these codes don't work within the Cygwin-csh. Does anyone know the correct sequences here? Why not use printf and \033 for the escape character? The following prints xxx yyy zzz where yyy is green: printf 'xxx \033[32myyy\033[m zzz' Here is a list showing other escape sequences # foreground colours printf '\033[30m black \033[m' printf '\033[31m red \033[m' printf '\033[32m green \033[m' printf '\033[33m yellow \033[m' printf '\033[34m blue \033[m' printf '\033[35m magenta \033[m' printf '\033[36m cyan \033[m' printf '\033[37m white \033[m' # background colours printf '\033[40m black \033[m' printf '\033[41m red \033[m' printf '\033[42m green \033[m' printf '\033[43m yellow \033[m' printf '\033[44m blue \033[m' printf '\033[45m magenta \033[m' printf '\033[46m cyan \033[m' printf '\033[47m white \033[m' # other printf '\033[0m default \033[m' printf '\033[1m bold \033[m' printf '\033[2m faint \033[m' printf '\033[3m italic \033[m' printf '\033[4m underlined \033[m' printf '\033[5m slowblink \033[m' printf '\033[6m rapidblink \033[m' printf '\033[7m negative \033[m' Peter -- Peter J.

Huh. ls seems to notice that the directory contains a

is able to find it.
A wild guess is that readdir() finds it, and tells ls that
the file exists, but when ls does a stat() on the file, it
fails and that's why you get the error.
What is the output if you run the following script with the
directory as the input argument. It is essentially the
same as ls -b but no stat() is done.

I should have mentioned this specifically since it's not an issue if you have /usr/bin before /usr/local/bin in your path. Is there a way to make path searches case insensitive? On the other hand, if you have /usr/bin before /usr/local/bin you'll not get the latest versions when Perl scripts, like cpan, are updated. Rather than specify PREFIX for every module build and set a PERL5LIB, you might just build your own perl with the -Uusrbinperl configure option, so it defaults to /usr/local/.

I forgot to mention that Perl will not, by default, search for modules in /usr/local. This is a disadvantage, but it's worth it, in my opinion. The simplest way to make Perl look for modules there is to add PERL5LIB=/usr/local/lib/perl5:/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl to your personal startup file (~/.bash_profile or whatever). My question, though, is what do I do about all the modules I've installed under /usr? How do I deal with them? Do I need to re-install them under /usr/local? Do I then need to somehow remove them from /usr? Or can I have modules under both directories, leaving the ones that work under /usr and place new ones under /usr/local? If they're working properly, you might as well leave them alone. If they're broken, re-install them with PREFIX=/usr/local. Note that perl will search the directories specified in PERL5LIB before the other directories, so if you have a working module under /usr/local and a broken one under /usr, then the working one under /usr/local will be used. The default search path: $ unset PERL5LIB $ perl -wle 'print for @INC' /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/cygwin-multi-64int /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/cygwin-multi-64int /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .

You may try to remove modules under /usr, but be careful so you don't remove things you need.

You shouldn't use force install unless you really know what

When installing LWP you are asked whether you want to install the
GET, HEAD, and POST programs. You have chosed yes or the force
install did it for you. Either way, it was discovered that HEAD
exists (as /usr/bin/head.exe) and Perl is trying to remove it, but
although which head says /usr/bin/HEAD, there really is no
/usr/bin/HEAD.exe, it's /usr/bin/head.exe. The problem is
that which matches case insensitively, but rm doesn't.
The solution is: Don't install CPAN modules under /usr, use
/usr/local! When you install modules without CPAN, use the
steps
perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/usr/local
make
make test
make install
this is done with the CPAN shell by setting
cpan o conf makepl_arg PREFIX=/usr/local
cpan o conf commit
Any idea what is going wrong, or is the question better posed to
a perl forum?
The head vs HEAD is a Cygwin thing, so I think it belongs
equally well here.

and you can see that the reported size of the target of the 'cp
/dev/zero' has grown to a considerable size in a short time.
Can anyone else reproduce this?
Hopefull, everyone can reproduce this. I think you are mixing
/dev/zero with /dev/null. /dev/zero will always return a buffer
full of zeros (that is NULs, not the digit or letter zero).
/dev/zero has infinite length, so copying from it with cp to
a regular file will always cause you do run out of disk space.

/usr/bin/tar: Archive value 88578 is out of uid_t range 0..65535
I use the cpan shell to install Perl modules, but I often get the error messages like /usr/bin/tar: Archive value 88578 is out of uid_t range 0..65535 and tar ends with a non-zero exit status so the module won't install. How can I get around this? Are there any plans of supporting higher uids than 65535 in Cygwin? Peter -- I wish dialog boxes had a butten saying Whatever.

Where did you read about the behavior in all UNIXes I work on? We should probably document it in a similar place for cygwin. That turned out to be an incorrect assumption on my part. I have worked with many UNIX flavours, and assumed that I had been using this syntax on all of them, but it turned out to be that I had only used it on Solaris where this syntax actually works.

Thanks! But I wonder, does the colon really belong there? If so,
what does it do? Will this work under all common shells (sh, ksh,

I hasitate to use a script with no shebang line, because I'm so
used to it always being present in a script, but if I don't really
need it, then I guess I can do without.
