  <title>Cygwin Utilities</title>

  <para>Cygwin comes with a number of command-line utilities that are used to
    manage the UNIX emulation portion of the Cygwin environment. While many of
    these reflect their UNIX counterparts, each was written specifically for
    Cygwin. You may use the long or short option names interchangeably; for
    example, <literal>--help</literal> and <literal>-h</literal> function
    identically. All of the Cygwin command-line utilities support the
    <literal>--help</literal> and <literal>--version</literal> options. </para>

  <title>Description</title>
    <para> The <command>cygcheck</command> program is a diagnostic utility for
      dealing with Cygwin programs. If you are familiar with
      <command>dpkg</command> or <command>rpm</command>,
      <command>cygcheck</command> is similar in many ways. (The major
      difference is that <command>setup.exe</command> handles installing and
      uninstalling packages; see <xref linkend="internet-setup"/> for more
      information.) </para>
    <para> The <literal>-c</literal> option checks the version and status of
      installed Cygwin packages. If you specify one or more package names,
      <command>cygcheck</command> will limit its output to those packages, or
      with no arguments it lists all packages. A package will be marked
      <literal>Incomplete</literal> if files originally installed are no longer
      present. The best thing to do in that situation is reinstall the package
      with <command>setup.exe</command>. To see which files are missing, use
      the <literal>-v</literal> option. If you do not need to know the status
      of each package and want <command>cygcheck</command> to run faster, add
      the <literal>-d</literal> option and <command>cygcheck</command> will
      only output the name and version for each package. </para>
    <para> If you list one or more programs on the command line,
      <command>cygcheck</command> will diagnose the runtime environment of that
      program or programs, providing the names of DLL files on which the
      program depends. If you specify the <literal>-s</literal> option,
      <command>cygcheck</command> will give general system information. If you
      list one or more programs on the command line and specify
      <literal>-s</literal>, <command>cygcheck</command> will report on
      both.</para>
    <para> The <literal>-f</literal> option helps you to track down which
      package a file came from, and <literal>-l</literal> lists all files in a
      package. For example, to find out about
      <filename>/usr/bin/less</filename> and its package:
    </para>

    <example
      id="utils-cygcheck-ex"><title>Example <command>cygcheck</command>
      usage</title>
      <screen>
$ cygcheck -f /usr/bin/less
less-381-1

$ cygcheck -l less
/usr/bin/less.exe
/usr/bin/lessecho.exe
/usr/bin/lesskey.exe
/usr/man/man1/less.1
/usr/man/man1/lesskey.1
</screen>
      </example>

    <para>The <literal>-h</literal> option prints additional helpful messages
      in the report, at the beginning of each section. It also adds table
      column headings. While this is useful information, it also adds some to
      the size of the report, so if you want a compact report or if you know
      what everything is already, just leave this out.</para>

    <para>The <literal>-v</literal> option causes the output to be more
      verbose. What this means is that additional information will be reported
      which is usually not interesting, such as the internal version numbers of
      DLLs, additional information about recursive DLL usage, and if a file in
      one directory in the PATH also occurs in other directories on the PATH. </para>

    <para>The <literal>-r</literal> option causes <command>cygcheck</command>
      to search your registry for information that is relevant to Cygwin
      programs. These registry entries are the ones that have "Cygwin" in the
      name. If you are paranoid about privacy, you may remove information from
      this report, but please keep in mind that doing so makes it harder to
      diagnose your problems.</para>

    <para>In contrast to the other options that search the packages that are
      installed on your local system, the <literal>-p</literal> option can be
      used to search the entire official Cygwin package repository. It takes as
      argument a Perl-compatible regular expression which is used to match
      package names, package descriptions, and path/filenames of the contents
      of packages. This feature requires an active internet connection, since
      it must query the <literal>cygwin.com</literal> web site. In fact, it is
      equivalent to the search that is available on the <ulink
      url="https://cygwin.com/packages/">Cygwin package listing</ulink>
      page.</para>

    <para>For example, perhaps you are getting an error because you are missing
      a certain DLL and you want to know which package includes that file:
    </para>

    <example id="utils-search-ex"><title>Searching all packages for a

coreutils-5.3.0-6         GNU core utilities (includes fileutils, sh-utils and textutils)
</screen>
      </example>

    <para>Note that this option takes a regular expression, not a glob or
      wildcard. This means that you need to use <literal>.*</literal> if you
      want something similar to the wildcard <literal>*</literal> commonly used
      in filename globbing. Similarly, to match the period character you should
      use <literal>\.</literal> since the <literal>.</literal> character in a
      regexp is a metacharacter that will match any character. Also be aware
      that the characters such as <literal>\</literal> and <literal>*</literal>
      are shell metacharacters, so they must be either escaped or quoted, as in
      the example above.</para>

    <para>The third example above illustrates that if you want to match a whole
      filename, you should include the <literal>/</literal> path seperator. In
      the given example this ensures that filenames that happen to end in
      <literal>ls.exe</literal> such as <literal>ncftpls.exe</literal> are not
      shown. Note that this use does not mean "look for packages with
      <literal>ls</literal> in the root directory," since the
      <literal>/</literal> can match anywhere in the path. It's just there to
      anchor the match so that it matches a full filename.</para>

    <para>By default the matching is case-sensitive. To get a case insensitive
      match, begin your regexp with <literal>(?i)</literal> which is a
      PCRE-specific feature. For complete documentation on Perl-compatible
      regular expression syntax and options, read the <command>perlre</command>
      manpage, or one of many websites such as <literal>perldoc.com</literal>
      that document the Perl language.</para>

    <para>The <command>cygcheck</command> program should be used to send
      information about your system for troubleshooting when requested. When
      asked to run this command save the output so that you can email it, for
      example:</para>

    <screen>
<prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>cygcheck -s -v -r -h &gt; cygcheck_output.txt</userinput>
</screen>

    <para> Each Cygwin DLL stores its path and installation key in the
      registry. This allows troubleshooting of problems which could be a result
      of having multiple concurrent Cygwin installations. However, if you're
      experimenting a lot with different Cygwin installation paths, your
      registry could accumulate a lot of old Cygwin installation entries for
      which the installation doesn't exist anymore. To get rid of these
      orphaned registry entries, use the <command>cygcheck
      --delete-orphaned-installation-keys</command> command.</para>

      <title>Description</title>
    <para>The <command>cygpath</command> program is a utility that converts
      Windows native filenames to Cygwin POSIX-style pathnames and vice versa.
      It can be used when a Cygwin program needs to pass a file name to a
      native Windows program, or expects to get a file name from a native
      Windows program. Alternatively, <command>cygpath</command> can output
      information about the location of important system directories in either
      format. </para>

    <para>The <literal>-u</literal> and <literal>-w</literal> options indicate
      whether you want a conversion to UNIX (POSIX) format
      (<literal>-u</literal>) or to Windows format (<literal>-w</literal>). Use
      the <literal>-d</literal> to get DOS-style (8.3) file and path names. The
      <literal>-m</literal> option will output Windows-style format but with
      forward slashes instead of backslashes. This option is especially useful
      in shell scripts, which use backslashes as an escape character.</para>

    <para> In combination with the <literal>-w</literal> option, you can use
      the <literal>-l</literal> and <literal>-s</literal> options to use normal
      (long) or DOS-style (short) form. The <literal>-d</literal> option is
      identical to <literal>-w</literal> and <literal>-s</literal> together. </para>

    <para>The <literal>-C</literal> option allows to specify a Windows codepage
      to print DOS and Windows paths created with one of the
      <literal>-d</literal>, <literal>-m</literal>, or <literal>-w</literal>
      options. The default is to use the character set of the current locale
      defined by one of the internationalization environment variables
      <envar>LC_ALL</envar>, <envar>LC_CTYPE</envar>, or <envar>LANG</envar>,
      see <xref linkend="setup-locale"/>. This is sometimes not sufficient for
      interaction with native Windows tools, which might expect native,
      non-ASCII characters in a specific Windows codepage. Console tools, for
      instance, might expect pathnames in the current OEM codepage, while
      graphical tools like Windows Explorer might expect pathnames in the
      current ANSI codepage.</para>

    <para>The <literal>-U</literal> option allows to use cygpath to create
    unambiguous Unix paths pointing outside the Cygwin tree andf thus having
    no explicit POSIX path.  Those paths usually use the cygdrive prefix.
    However, the cygdrive prefix can be changed by the user, so symbolic links
    created using the cygdrive prefix are not foolproof.  With
    <literal>-U</literal> cygpath will generate such paths prepended by the
    virtual <filename>/proc/cygdrive</filename> symbolic link, which will
    never change, so the created path is safe against changing the cygdrive
    prefix.</para>

    <para>The <literal>-C</literal> option takes a single parameter:</para>
    <itemizedlist spacing="compact">
      <listitem>
        <para><literal>ANSI</literal>, to specify the current ANSI
          codepage</para>

      <listitem>
        <para><literal>OEM</literal>, to specify the current OEM (console)
          codepage</para>

      <listitem>
        <para><literal>UTF8</literal>, to specify UTF-8.</para>
      </listitem>
      <listitem>
        <para>A numerical, decimal codepage number, for instance 936 for GBK,
          28593 for ISO-8859-3, etc. A full list of supported codepages is
          listed on the Microsoft MSDN page <ulink
          url="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd317756(VS.85).aspx"
          >Code Page Identifiers</ulink>. A codepage of 0 is the same as if the
          <literal>-C</literal> hasn't been specified at all.</para>
      </listitem>
    </itemizedlist>

    <para>The <literal>-p</literal> option means that you want to convert a
      path-style string rather than a single filename. For example, the PATH
      environment variable is semicolon-delimited in Windows, but
      colon-delimited in UNIX. By giving <literal>-p</literal> you are
      instructing <command>cygpath</command> to convert between these
      formats.</para>

    <para>The <literal>-i</literal> option supresses the print out of the usage
      message if no filename argument was given. It can be used in make file
      rules converting variables that may be omitted to a proper format. Note
      that <command>cygpath</command> output may contain spaces (C:\Program
      Files) so should be enclosed in quotes. </para>

      w32api. The current valid range of codes for folders is 0 (Desktop) to 59

      <title>Description</title>
    <para>The <command>dumper</command> utility can be used to create a core
      dump of running Windows process. This core dump can be later loaded to
      <command>gdb</command> and analyzed. One common way to use
      <command>dumper</command> is to plug it into cygwin's Just-In-Time
      debugging facility by adding
      <screen>
error_start=x:\path\to\dumper.exe
</screen> to the
      <emphasis>CYGWIN</emphasis> environment variable. Please note that
      <literal>x:\path\to\dumper.exe</literal> is Windows-style and not cygwin
      path. If <literal>error_start</literal> is set this way, then dumper will
      be started whenever some program encounters a fatal error. </para>

    <para> <command>dumper</command> can be also be started from the command
      line to create a core dump of any running process. Unfortunately, because
      of a Windows API limitation, when a core dump is created and
      <command>dumper</command> exits, the target process is terminated too. </para>

    <para> To save space in the core dump, <command>dumper</command> doesn't
      write those portions of target process' memory space that are loaded from
      executable and dll files and are unchangeable, such as program code and
      debug info. Instead, <command>dumper</command> saves paths to files which
      contain that data. When a core dump is loaded into gdb, it uses these
      paths to load appropriate files. That means that if you create a core
      dump on one machine and try to debug it on another, you'll need to place
      identical copies of the executable and dlls in the same directories as on
      the machine where the core dump was created. </para>

      <title>Description</title>
    <para>The <command>kill</command> program allows you to send arbitrary
      signals to other Cygwin programs. The usual purpose is to end a running
      program from some other window when ^C won't work, but you can also send
      program-specified signals such as SIGUSR1 to trigger actions within the
      program, like enabling debugging or re-opening log files. Each program
      defines the signals they understand.</para>

    <para>You may need to specify the full path to use <command>kill</command>
      from within some shells, including <command>bash</command>, the default
      Cygwin shell. This is because <command>bash</command> defines a
      <command>kill</command> builtin function; see the <command>bash</command>
      man page under <emphasis>BUILTIN COMMANDS</emphasis> for more
      information. To make sure you are using the Cygwin version, try
      <screen>
$ /bin/kill --version
</screen> which should give the Cygwin
      <command>kill</command> version number and copyright information. </para>

    <para>The <literal>-f</literal> option uses Windows functions to
      terminate processes forcefully. Use <literal>-f</literal> to
      terminate native Windows processes not started by Cygwin processes.
      <literal>-f</literal> can also be useful to terminate Cygwin processes
      not answering to SIGKILL.</para>

    <para>Unless you specific the <literal>-W</literal> option, the "pid"
      values used by <command>kill</command> are the Cygwin pids, not the
      Windows pids. To get a list of running programs and their Cygwin pids,
      use the Cygwin <command>ps</command> program. <command>ps -W</command>
      will display <emphasis>all</emphasis> windows pids.</para>

    <para>The <command>kill -l</command> option prints the name of the given
      signal, or a list of all signal names if no signal is given.</para>

    <para>To send a specific signal, use the <literal>-signN</literal> option,
      either with a signal number or a signal name (minus the "SIG" part), as
      shown in these examples:</para>

    <para>The <command>mount</command> program is used to map your drives and
      shares onto Cygwin's simulated POSIX directory tree, much like as is done
      by mount commands on typical UNIX systems. However, in contrast to mount
      points given in <filename>/etc/fstab</filename>, mount points created or
      changed with <command>mount</command> are not persistent. They disappear
      immediately after the last process of the current user exited. Please see
      <xref linkend="mount-table"/> for more information on the concepts behind
      the Cygwin POSIX file system and strategies for using mounts. To remove
      mounts temporarily, use <command>umount</command></para>

    <refsect2 id="utils-mount">
      <title>Using mount</title>

      <para>In this example, c:/cygwin is the POSIX root and the D drive is

        mount is a system-wide mount point that is visible to all users running
        Cygwin programs, whereas the <filename>/mnt/d</filename> mount is only
        visible to the current user.</para>

      <para>The <command>mount</command> utility is also the mechanism for
        adding new mounts to the mount table in memory. The following example
        demonstrates how to mount the directory
        <filename>//pollux/home/joe/data</filename> to
        <filename>/data</filename> for the duration of the current session. </para>

      <para>A given POSIX path may only exist once in the mount table. Attempts
        to replace the mount will fail with a busy error. The
        <literal>-f</literal> (force) option causes the old mount to be
        silently replaced with the new one, provided the old mount point was a
        user mount point. It's not valid to replace system-wide mount points.
        Additionally, the <literal>-f</literal> option will silence warnings
        about the non-existence of directories at the Win32 path
        location.</para>

      <para> The <literal>-o</literal> option is the method via which various
        options about the mount point may be recorded. The following options
        are available (note that most of the options are duplicates of other
        mount flags):</para>

      <screen>
  acl        - Use the filesystem's access control lists (ACLs) to
               implement real POSIX permissions (default).
  binary     - Files default to binary mode (default).
  bind       - Allows to remount part of the file hierarchy somewhere else.
               Different from other mount calls, the first argument
               specifies an absolute POSIX path, rather than a Win32 path.
               This POSIX path is remounted to the POSIX path specified as
               the second parameter.  The conversion to a Win32 path is done
               within Cygwin immediately at the time of the call.  Note that
               symlinks are ignored while performing this path conversion.
  cygexec    - Treat all files below mount point as cygwin executables.
  dos        - Always convert leading spaces and trailing dots and spaces to
               characters in the UNICODE private use area.  This allows to use
               broken filesystems which only allow DOS filenames, even if they
               are not recognized as such by Cygwin.
  exec       - Treat all files below mount point as executable.
  ihash      - Always fake inode numbers rather than using the ones returned
               by the filesystem.  This allows to use broken filesystems which
               don't return unambiguous inode numbers, even if they are not
               recognized as such by Cygwin.
  noacl      - Ignore ACLs and fake POSIX permissions.
  nosuid     - No suid files are allowed (currently unimplemented)
  notexec    - Treat all files below mount point as not executable.
  override   - Override immutable mount points.
  posix=0    - Switch off case sensitivity for paths under this mount point.
  posix=1    - Switch on case sensitivity for paths under this mount point
               (default).
  sparse     - Switch on support for sparse files.  This option only makes
               sense on NTFS and then only if you really need sparse files.
  text       - Files default to CRLF text mode line endings.

      <para>For a more complete description of the mount options and the
        <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> file, see <xref linkend="mount-table"
        />.</para>

      <para>Note that all mount points added with <command>mount</command> are
        user mount points. System mount points can only be specified in the
        <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> file.</para>

      <para>If you added mount points to <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> or
        your <filename>/etc/fstab.d/&lt;username&gt;</filename> file, you can
        add these mount points to your current user session using the
        <literal>-a/--all</literal> option, or by specifing the posix path
        alone on the command line. As an example, consider you added a mount
        point with the POSIX path <filename>/my/mount</filename>. You can add
        this mount point with either one of the following two commands to your
        current user session.</para>

      <screen>
<prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>mount /my/mount</userinput>
<prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>mount -a</userinput>
</screen>

      <para>The first command just adds the <filename>/my/mount</filename>
        mount point to your current session, the <command>mount -a</command>
        adds all new mount points to your user session.</para>

      <para>If you change a mount point to point to another native path, or if
        you changed the flags of a mount point, you have to
        <command>umount</command> the mount point first, before you can add it
        again. Please note that all such added mount points are added as user
        mount points, and that the rule that system mount points can't be
        removed or replaced in a running session still applies.</para>

      <para>To bind a POSIX path to another POSIX path, use the
        <literal>bind</literal> mount flag.</para>

      <screen>
<prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>mount -o bind /var /usr/var</userinput>
</screen>

      <para>This command makes the file hirarchy under
        <filename>/var</filename> additionally available under
        <filename>/usr/var</filename>.</para>

      <para> The <literal>-m</literal> option causes the
        <command>mount</command> utility to output the current mount table in a
        series of fstab entries. You can save this output as a backup when
        experimenting with the mount table. Copy the output to
        <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> to restore the old state. It also makes
        moving your settings to a different machine much easier.</para>

        from a particular Win32 path to a POSIX one, Cygwin will, instead,
        convert to a POSIX path using a default mount point:
        <filename>/cygdrive</filename>. For example, if Cygwin accesses
        <filename>z:\foo</filename> and the z drive is not currently in the
        mount table, then <filename>z:\</filename> will be accessible as
        <filename>/cygdrive/z</filename>. The <command>mount</command> utility
        can be used to change this default automount prefix through the use of
        the "--change-cygdrive-prefix" option. In the following example, we
        will set the automount prefix to <filename>/mnt</filename>:</para>

      <example id="utils-cygdrive-ex">
        <title>Changing the default prefix</title>
        <screen>
<prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>mount --change-cygdrive-prefix /mnt</userinput>
</screen>
      </example>

      <para>Note that the cygdrive prefix can be set both per-user and
        system-wide, and that as with all mounts, a user-specific mount takes
        precedence over the system-wide setting. The <command>mount</command>
        utility creates system-wide mounts by default if you do not specify a
        type. You can always see the user and system cygdrive prefixes with the
        <literal>-p</literal> option. Using the <literal>--options</literal>
        flag with <literal>--change-cygdrive-prefix</literal> makes all new
        automounted filesystems default to this set of options. For instance
        (using the short form of the command line flags)</para>

        <title>Changing the default prefix with specific mount options</title>

      <title>Limitations</title>

      <para>Limitations: there is a hard-coded limit of 64 mount points.
        Also, although you can mount to pathnames that do not start with "/",
	there is no way to make use of such mount points.</para>

      <para>Normally the POSIX mount point in Cygwin is an existing empty
        directory, as in standard UNIX. If this is the case, or if there is a
        place-holder for the mount point (such as a file, a symbolic link
        pointing anywhere, or a non-empty directory), you will get the expected
        behavior. Files present in a mount point directory before the mount
        become invisible to Cygwin programs. </para>

      <para>It is sometimes desirable to mount to a non-existent directory, for
        example to avoid cluttering the root directory with names such as
        <filename>a</filename>, <filename>b</filename>, <filename>c</filename>
        pointing to disks. Although <command>mount</command> will give you a
        warning, most everything will work properly when you refer to the mount
        point explicitly. Some strange effects can occur however. For example
        if your current working directory is <filename>/dir</filename>, say,
        and <filename>/dir/mtpt</filename> is a mount point, then
        <filename>mtpt</filename> will not show up in an <command>ls</command>
        or <command>echo *</command> command and <command>find .</command> will
        not find <filename>mtpt</filename>. </para>

  -p, --pwd-not-required   no password required for USER.
  -P, --pwd-required       password is required for USER.
  -R, --reg-store-pwd      enter password to store it in the registry for
                           later usage by services to be able to switch
                           to this user context with network credentials.

System operations:
  -i, --inactive NUM       set NUM of days before inactive accounts are disabled
                           (inactive accounts are those with expired passwords).
  -n, --minage MINDAYS     set system minimum password age to MINDAYS days.
  -x, --maxage MAXDAYS     set system maximum password age to MAXDAYS days.
  -L, --length LEN         set system minimum password length to LEN.

Other options:
  -d, --logonserver SERVER connect to SERVER (e.g. domain controller).
                           Usually not required.
  -S, --status             display password status for USER (locked, expired,
                           etc.) plus global system password settings.
  -h, --help               output usage information and exit.
  -V, --version            output version information and exit.

If no option is given, change USER's password.  If no user name is given,
operate on current user.  System operations must not be mixed with user
operations.  Don't specify a USER when triggering a system operation.

Don't specify a user or any other option together with the -R option.
Non-Admin users can only store their password if cygserver is running.
Note that storing even obfuscated passwords in the registry is not overly
secure.  Use this feature only if the machine is adequately locked down.
Don't use this feature if you don't need network access within a remote
session.  You can delete your stored password by using `passwd -R' and
specifying an empty password.

      <title>Description</title>
    <para> <command>passwd</command> changes passwords for user accounts. A
      normal user may only change the password for their own account, but
      administrators may change passwords on any account.
      <command>passwd</command> also changes account information, such as
      password expiry dates and intervals.</para>

    <para>For password changes, the user is first prompted for their old
      password, if one is present. This password is then encrypted and compared
      against the stored password. The user has only one chance to enter the
      correct password. The administrators are permitted to bypass this step so
      that forgotten passwords may be changed.</para>

    <para>The user is then prompted for a replacement password.
      <command>passwd</command> will prompt twice for this replacement and
      compare the second entry against the first. Both entries are required to
      match in order for the password to be changed.</para>

    <para>After the password has been entered, password aging information is
      checked to see if the user is permitted to change their password at this
      time. If not, <command>passwd</command> refuses to change the password
      and exits.</para>

    <para> To get current password status information, use the
      <literal>-S</literal> option. Administrators can use
      <command>passwd</command> to perform several account maintenance
      functions (users may perform some of these functions on their own
      accounts). Accounts may be locked with the <literal>-l</literal> flag and
      unlocked with the <literal>-u</literal> flag. Similarly,
      <literal>-c</literal> disables a user's ability to change passwords, and
      <literal>-C</literal> allows a user to change passwords. For password
      expiry, the <literal>-e</literal> option disables expiration, while the
      <literal>-E</literal> option causes the password to expire according to
      the system's normal aging rules. Use <literal>-p</literal> to disable the
      password requirement for a user, or <literal>-P</literal> to require a
      password. </para>

    <para>Administrators can also use <command>passwd</command> to change
      system-wide password expiry and length requirements with the
      <literal>-i</literal>, <literal>-n</literal>, <literal>-x</literal>, and
      <literal>-L</literal> options. The <literal>-i</literal> option is used
      to disable an account after the password has been expired for a number of
      days. After a user account has had an expired password for
      <emphasis>NUM</emphasis> days, the user may no longer sign on to the
      account. The <literal>-n</literal> option is used to set the minimum
      number of days before a password may be changed. The user will not be
      permitted to change the password until <emphasis>MINDAYS</emphasis> days
      have elapsed. The <literal>-x</literal> option is used to set the maximum
      number of days a password remains valid. After
      <emphasis>MAXDAYS</emphasis> days, the password is required to be
      changed. Allowed values for the above options are 0 to 999. The
      <literal>-L</literal> option sets the minimum length of allowed passwords
      for users who don't belong to the administrators group to
      <emphasis>LEN</emphasis> characters. Allowed values for the minimum
      password length are 0 to 14. In any of the above cases, a value of 0
      means `no restrictions'.</para>

    <para> All operations affecting the current user are by default run against
      the logon server of the current user (taken from the environment variable
      <envar>LOGONSERVER</envar>. When password or account information of other
      users should be changed, the logon server is evaluated automatically.
      In rare cases, it might be necessary to switch to another domain
      controller to perform the action.  In this case, use the
      <literal>-d</literal> option to specify the machine to run the command
      against. Note that the current user must have account operator permissions
      to perform user account changes in a domain. </para>

    <para>Users can use the <command>passwd -R</command> to enter a password
      which then gets stored in a special area of the registry on the local
      system, which is also used by Windows to store passwords of accounts
      running Windows services. When a privileged Cygwin application calls the
      <command>set{e}uid(user_id)</command> system call, Cygwin checks if a
      password for that user has been stored in this registry area. If so, it
      uses this password to switch to this user account using that password.
      This allows you to logon through, for instance, <command>ssh</command>
      with public key authentication and get a full qualified user token with
      all credentials for network access. However, the method has some
      drawbacks security-wise. This is explained in more detail in <xref
      linkend="ntsec"/>.</para>

    <para>Please note that storing passwords in that registry area is a
      privileged operation which only administrative accounts are allowed to
      do. Administrators can enter the password for other user accounts into
      the registry by specifying the username on the commandline. If normal,
      non-admin users should be allowed to enter their passwords using
      <command>passwd -R</command>, it's required to run
      <command>cygserver</command> as a service under the LocalSystem account
      before running <command>passwd -R</command>. This only affects storing
      passwords. Using passwords in privileged processes does not require
      <command>cygserver</command> to run.</para>

    <para>Limitations: Users may not be able to change their password on some
      systems.</para>

    <para>The <command>ps</command> program gives the status of all the Cygwin

    <para> The PID column is the process ID you need to give to the
      <command>kill</command> command. The PPID is the parent process ID, and
      PGID is the process group ID. The WINPID column is the process ID
      displayed by NT's Task Manager program. The TTY column gives which
      pseudo-terminal a process is running on, or a <literal>'?'</literal> for
      services. The UID column shows which user owns each process. STIME is the
      time the process was started, and COMMAND gives the name of the program
      running. Listings may also have a status flag in column zero;
      <literal>S</literal> means stopped or suspended (in other words, in the
      background), <literal>I</literal> means waiting for input or interactive
      (foreground), and <literal>O</literal> means waiting to output. </para>

    <para> By default, <command>ps</command> will only show processes owned by

      outputs a "full" listing with usernames for UIDs. The
      <literal>-l</literal> option is the default display mode, showing a
      "long" listing with all the above columns. The other display option is
      <literal>-s</literal>, which outputs a shorter listing of just PID, TTY,
      STIME, and COMMAND. The <literal>-u</literal> option allows you to show
      only processes owned by a specific user. The <literal>-p</literal> option
      allows you to show information for only the process with the specified
      PID. The <literal>-W</literal> option causes <command>ps</command> show
      non-Cygwin Windows processes as well as Cygwin processes. The WINPID is

    <para>The <command>regtool</command> program allows shell scripts to access
      and modify the Windows registry. Note that modifying the Windows registry
      is dangerous, and carelessness here can result in an unusable system. Be
      careful.</para>

    <para>The <literal>-v</literal> option means "verbose". For most commands,
      this causes additional or lengthier messages to be printed. Conversely,
      the <literal>-q</literal> option supresses error messages, so you can use
      the exit status of the program to detect if a key exists or not (for
      example).</para>

    <para>The <literal>-w</literal> option allows you to access the 64 bit view
      of the registry. Several subkeys exist in a 32 bit and a 64 bit version
      when running on Windows 64. Since Cygwin is running in 32 bit mode, it
      only has access to the 32 bit view of these registry keys. When using the
      <literal>-w</literal> switch, the 64 bit view is used and
      <command>regtool</command> can access the entire registry. This option is
      simply ignored when running on 32 bit Windows versions. </para>

    <para>The <literal>-W</literal> option allows you to access the 32 bit view
      on the registry. The purpose of this option is mainly for symmetry. It
      permits creation of OS agnostic scripts which would also work in a
      hypothetical 64 bit version of Cygwin.</para>

    <para>You must provide <command>regtool</command> with an
      <emphasis>action</emphasis> following options (if any). Currently, the
      action must be <literal>add</literal>, <literal>set</literal>,
      <literal>check</literal>, <literal>get</literal>,
      <literal>list</literal>, <literal>remove</literal>,
      <literal>set</literal>, or <literal>unset</literal>. </para>

    <para>The <literal>add</literal> action adds a new key. The
      <literal>check</literal> action checks to see if a key exists (the exit
      code of the program is zero if it does, nonzero if it does not). The
      <literal>get</literal> action gets the value of a key, and prints it (and
      nothing else) to stdout. Note: if the value doesn't exist, an error
      message is printed and the program returns a non-zero exit code. If you
      give <literal>-q</literal>, it doesn't print the message but does return
      the non-zero exit code.</para>

    <para> The <literal>list</literal> action lists the subkeys and values
      belonging to the given key. With <literal>list</literal>, the
      <literal>-k</literal> option instructs <command>regtool</command> to
      print only KEYs, and the <literal>-l</literal> option to print only
      VALUEs. The <literal>-p</literal> option postfixes a
      <literal>'/'</literal> to each KEY, but leave VALUEs with no postfix. The
      <literal>remove</literal> action removes a key. Note that you may need to
      remove everything in the key before you may remove it, but don't rely on
      this stopping you from accidentally removing too much. </para>

    <para>The <literal>get</literal> action prints a value within a key. With
      the <literal>-b</literal> option, data is printed as hex bytes.
      <literal>-n</literal> allows to print the data as a typeless stream of
      bytes. Integer values (REG_DWORD, REG_QWORD) are usually printed as
      decimal values. The <literal>-x</literal> option allows to print the
      numbers as hexadecimal values.</para>

    <para>The <literal>set</literal> action sets a value within a key.
      <literal>-b</literal> means it's binary data (REG_BINARY). The binary
      values are specified as hex bytes in the argument list. If the argument
      is <literal>'-'</literal>, binary data is read from stdin instead.
      <literal>-d</literal> or <literal>-i</literal> means the value is a 32
      bit integer value (REG_DWORD). <literal>-D</literal> means the value is a
      32 bit integer value in Big Endian representation (REG_DWORD_BIG_ENDIAN).
      <literal>-Q</literal> means the value is a 64 bit integer value
      (REG_QWORD). <literal>-s</literal> means the value is a string (REG_SZ).
      <literal>-e</literal> means it's an expanding string (REG_EXPAND_SZ) that
      contains embedded environment variables. <literal>-m</literal> means it's
      a multi-string (REG_MULTI_SZ). If you don't specify one of these,
      <command>regtool</command> tries to guess the type based on the value you
      give. If it looks like a number, it's a DWORD, unless it's value doesn't
      fit into 32 bit, in which case it's a QWORD. If it starts with a percent,
      it's an expanding string. If you give multiple values, it's a
      multi-string. Else, it's a regular string.</para>

    <para>The <literal>unset</literal> action removes a value from a
      key.</para>

    <para>The <literal>load</literal> action adds a new subkey and loads the
      contents of a registry hive into it. The parent key must be
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE or HKEY_USERS. The <literal>unload</literal> action
      unloads the file and removes the subkey. </para>

    <para>The <literal>save</literal> action saves a subkey into a registry
      file.  Ideally you append the suffix <filename>.reg</filename> to the file
      so it gets automatically recognized as registry file by
      <command>Windows Explorer</command>.</para>

    <para>The <literal>restore</literal> action restores a registry subkey
      from a file saved via the aforementioned <literal>save</literal> action.
      </para>

    <para> By default, the last "\" or "/" is assumed to be the separator
      between the key and the value. You can use the <literal>-K</literal>
      option to provide an alternate key/value separator character. </para>

    <para> For each file given as parameter, <command>setfacl</command> will
      either replace its complete ACL (<literal>-s</literal>,
      <literal>-f</literal>), or it will add, modify, or delete ACL entries.
      For more information on Cygwin and Windows ACLs, see
      <xref linkend="ntsec"/> in the Cygwin User's Guide. </para>

    <para> Acl_entries are one or more comma-separated ACL entries from the
      following list:
      <screen>
         u[ser]::perm
         u[ser]:uid:perm
         g[roup]::perm
         g[roup]:gid:perm
         m[ask]::perm
         o[ther]::perm
</screen>
      Default entries are like the above with the additional default
      identifier. For example:
      <screen>
         d[efault]:u[ser]:uid:perm
</screen> </para>

    <para> <emphasis>perm</emphasis> is either a 3-char permissions string in
      the form "rwx" with the character <literal>'-'</literal> for no
      permission or it is the octal representation of the permissions, a value
      from 0 (equivalent to "---") to 7 ("rwx"). <emphasis>uid</emphasis> is a
      user name or a numerical uid. <emphasis>gid</emphasis> is a group name or
      a numerical gid. </para>

    <para> The following options are supported: </para>

    <para> <literal>-b</literal>,<literal>--remove-all</literal> Remove all
      extended ACL entries.  The base ACL entries of the owner, group and
      others are retained.  This option can be combined with the
      <literal>-k</literal>,<literal>--remove-default</literal> option
      to delete all non-standard POSIX permissions.</para>

    <para> <literal>-x</literal>,<literal>--delete</literal> Delete one or
      more specified entries from the file's ACL. The owner, group and others
      entries must not be deleted.  Acl_entries to be deleted should be
      specified without permissions, as in the following list:
      <screen>
         u[ser]:uid[:]
         g[roup]:gid[:]
         m[ask][:]
         d[efault]:u[ser][:uid]

         d[efault]:o[ther][:]
</screen> </para>

    <para> <literal>-f</literal>,<literal>--set-file</literal> Take the Acl_entries
      from ACL_FILE one per line. Whitespace characters are ignored, and the
      character "#" may be used to start a comment. The special filename "-"
      indicates reading from stdin. Note that you can use this with
      <command>getfacl</command> and <command>setfacl</command> to copy ACLs
      from one file to another:
      <screen>
$ getfacl source_file | setfacl -f - target_file
</screen> </para>

    <para> Required entries are: one user entry for the owner of the file, one
      group entry for the group of the file, and one other entry. </para>

    <para> If additional user and group entries are given: a mask entry for the
      file group class of the file, and no duplicate user or group entries with
      the same uid/gid. </para>

    <para> If it is a directory: one default user entry for the owner of the
      file, one default group entry for the group of the file, one default mask
      entry for the file group class, and one default other entry. </para>

    <para> <literal>-k</literal>,<literal>--remove-default</literal> Remove all
      default ACL entries. If no default ACL entries exist, no warnings are
      issued.  This option can be combined with the
      <literal>-b</literal>,<literal>--remove-all</literal> option
      to delete all non-standard POSIX permissions.</para>

    <para> <literal>-m</literal>,<literal>--modify</literal> Add or modify one
      or more specified ACL entries. Acl_entries is a comma-separated list of
      entries from the same list as above. </para>

    <para> <literal>-n</literal>,<literal>--no-mask</literal> Valid in
      conjunction with -m.  Do not recalculate the effective rights mask.
      The default behavior of setfacl is to recalculate the ACL mask entry,
      unless a mask entry was explicitly given.  The mask entry is set to
      the union of all permissions of the owning group, and all named user
      and group entries.  (These are exactly the entries affected by the
      mask entry). </para>

    <para> <literal>--mask</literal> Valid in conjunction with -m.  Do
      recalculate the effective rights mask, even if an ACL mask entry was
      explicitly given. (See the -n option.) </para>

    <para> <literal>-s</literal>,<literal>--set</literal> Like
      <literal>-f</literal>, but set the file's ACL with Acl_entries
      specified in a comma-separated list on the command line. </para>

    <para> While the <literal>-x</literal> and <literal>-m</literal> options
      may be used in the same command, the <literal>-f</literal> and
      <literal>-s</literal> options may be used only exclusively. </para>

    <para> Directories may contain default ACL entries. Files created in a
      directory that contains default ACL entries will have permissions
      according to the combination of the current umask, the explicit
      permissions requested and the default ACL entries.</para>

      <title>Description</title>
    <para> SSP - The Single Step Profiler </para>

    <para> Original Author: DJ Delorie </para>

    <para> The SSP is a program that uses the Win32 debug API to run a program
      one ASM instruction at a time. It records the location of each
      instruction used, how many times that instruction is used, and all
      function calls. The results are saved in a format that is usable by the
      profiling program <command>gprof</command>, although
      <command>gprof</command> will claim the values are seconds, they really
      are instruction counts. More on that later. </para>

    <para> Because the SSP was originally designed to profile the Cygwin DLL,
      it does not automatically select a block of code to report statistics on.
      You must specify the range of memory addresses to keep track of manually,
      but it's not hard to figure out what to specify. Use the "objdump"
      program to determine the bounds of the target's ".text" section. Let's
      say we're profiling cygwin1.dll. Make sure you've built it with debug
      symbols (else <command>gprof</command> won't run) and run objdump like
      this: <screen>
$ objdump -h cygwin1.dll
</screen> It will print a report
      like this:
      <screen>
cygwin1.dll:     file format pei-i386

Sections:
Idx Name          Size      VMA       LMA       File off  Algn
  0 .text         0007ea00  61001000  61001000  00000400  2**2
                  CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE, DATA
  1 .data         00008000  61080000  61080000  0007ee00  2**2
                  CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, DATA
  . . .
</screen> </para>

    <para> The only information we're concerned with are the VMA of the .text
      section and the VMA of the section after it (sections are usually
      contiguous; you can also add the Size to the VMA to get the end address).
      In this case, the VMA is 0x61001000 and the ending address is either
      0x61080000 (start of .data method) or 0x0x6107fa00 (VMA+Size method). </para>

    <para> There are two basic ways to use SSP - either profiling a whole
      program, or selectively profiling parts of the program. </para>

    <para> To profile a whole program, just run <command>ssp</command> without
      options. By default, it will step the whole program. Here's a simple
      example, using the numbers above:
      <screen>
$ ssp 0x61001000 0x61080000 hello.exe
</screen> This will step
      the whole program. It will take at least 8 minutes on a PII/300 (yes,
      really). When it's done, it will create a file called "gmon.out". You can
      turn this data file into a readable report with <command>gprof</command>:
      <screen>
$ gprof -b cygwin1.dll
</screen> The "-b" means 'skip the help
      pages'. You can omit this until you're familiar with the report layout.
      The <command>gprof</command> documentation explains a lot about this
      report, but <command>ssp</command> changes a few things. For example, the
      first part of the report reports the amount of time spent in each
      function, like this:
      <screen>
Each sample counts as 0.01 seconds.
  %   cumulative   self              self     total
 time   seconds   seconds    calls  ms/call  ms/call  name
 10.02    231.22    72.43       46  1574.57  1574.57  strcspn
  7.95    288.70    57.48      130   442.15   442.15  strncasematch
</screen>
      The "seconds" columns are really CPU opcodes, 1/100 second per opcode.
      So, "231.22" above means 23,122 opcodes. The ms/call values are 10x too
      big; 1574.57 means 157.457 opcodes per call. Similar adjustments need to
      be made for the "self" and "children" columns in the second part of the
      report. </para>

    <para> OK, so now we've got a huge report that took a long time to
      generate, and we've identified a spot we want to work on optimizing.
      Let's say it's the time() function. We can use SSP to selectively profile
      this function by using OutputDebugString() to control SSP from within the
      program. Here's a sample program:
      <screen>
	#include &lt;windows.h&gt;
	main()
	{
	  time_t t;
	  OutputDebugString("ssp on");
	  time(&amp;t);
	  OutputDebugString("ssp off");
	}
</screen> </para>

    <para> Then, add the <literal>-d</literal> option to ssp to default to
      *disabling* profiling. The program will run at full speed until the first
      OutputDebugString, then step until the second. You can then use
      <command>gprof</command> (as usual) to see the performance profile for
      just that portion of the program's execution. </para>

    <para> There are many options to ssp. Since step-profiling makes your
      program run about 1,000 times slower than normal, it's best to understand
      all the options so that you can narrow down the parts of your program you
      need to single-step. </para>

    <para> <literal>-v</literal> - verbose. This prints messages about threads
      starting and stopping, OutputDebugString calls, DLLs loading, etc. </para>

    <para> <literal>-t</literal> and <literal>-c</literal> - tracing. With
      <literal>-t</literal>, *every* step's address is written to the file
      "trace.ssp". This can be used to help debug functions, since it can trace
      multiple threads. Clever use of scripts can match addresses with
      disassembled opcodes if needed. Warning: creates *huge* files, very
      quickly. <literal>-c</literal> prints each address to the console, useful
      for debugging key chunks of assembler. Use <literal>addr2line -C -f -s -e
      foo.exe &lt; trace.ssp &gt; lines.ssp</literal> and then <literal>perl
      cvttrace</literal> to convert to symbolic traces. </para>

    <para> <literal>-s</literal> - subthreads. Usually, you only need to trace
      the main thread, but sometimes you need to trace all threads, so this
      enables that. It's also needed when you want to profile a function that
      only a subthread calls. However, using OutputDebugString automatically
      enables profiling on the thread that called it, not the main thread. </para>

    <para> <literal>-l</literal> - dll profiling. Generates a pretty table of
      how much time was spent in each dll the program used. No sense optimizing
      a function in your program if most of the time is spent in the DLL. I
      usually use the <literal>-v</literal>, <literal>-s</literal>, and
      <literal>-l</literal> options:
      <screen>
$ ssp <literal>-v</literal> <literal>-s</literal> <literal>-l</literal> <literal>-d</literal> 0x61001000 0x61080000 hello.exe

    <para>The <command>strace</command> program executes a program, and
      optionally the children of the program, reporting any Cygwin DLL output
      from the program(s) to stdout, or to a file with the
      <literal>-o</literal> option. With the <literal>-w</literal> option, you
      can start an strace session in a new window, for example:
      <screen>
$ strace -o tracing_output -w sh -c 'while true; do echo "tracing..."; done' &amp;
</screen>
      This is particularly useful for <command>strace</command> sessions that
      take a long time to complete. </para>

    <para> Note that <command>strace</command> is a standalone Windows program
      and so does not rely on the Cygwin DLL itself (you can verify this with
      <command>cygcheck</command>). As a result it does not understand
      symlinks. This program is mainly useful for debugging the Cygwin DLL
      itself.</para>

      Use tzset to set your TZ variable. In POSIX-compatible shells like bash,
      dash, mksh, or zsh:
      <screen>
export TZ=$(tzset)
      </screen>
      In csh-compatible shells like tcsh:
      <screen>
setenv TZ `tzset`
      </screen>

    <para>The <command>tzset</command> tool reads the current timezone from
      Windows and generates a POSIX-compatible timezone information for the TZ
      environment variable from that information. That's all there is to it.
      For the way how to use it, see the above usage information.</para>

    <para>The <command>umount</command> program removes mounts from the mount
      table in the current session. If you specify a POSIX path that
      corresponds to a current mount point, <command>umount</command> will
      remove it from the current mount table. Note that you can only remove
      user mount points. The <literal>-U</literal> flag may be used to specify
      removing all user mount points from the current user session.</para>
