# File::Spec::Cygwin - man - phpman

## NAME
    [File::Spec::Cygwin](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/File%3A%3ASpec%3A%3ACygwin/markdown) - methods for Cygwin file specs

## SYNOPSIS
     require [File::Spec::Cygwin](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/File%3A%3ASpec%3A%3ACygwin/markdown); # Done internally by [File::Spec](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/File%3A%3ASpec/markdown) if needed

## DESCRIPTION
    See [File::Spec](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/File%3A%3ASpec/markdown) and [File::Spec::Unix](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/File%3A%3ASpec%3A%3AUnix/markdown). This package overrides the implementation of these methods,
    not the semantics.

    This module is still in beta. Cygwin-knowledgeable folks are invited to offer patches and
    suggestions.

    canonpath
        Any "\" (backslashes) are converted to "/" (forward slashes), and then [File::Spec::Unix](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/File%3A%3ASpec%3A%3AUnix/markdown)
        canonpath() is called on the result.

    file_name_is_absolute
        True is returned if the file name begins with "drive_letter:", and if not, [File::Spec::Unix](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/File%3A%3ASpec%3A%3AUnix/markdown)
        file_name_is_absolute() is called.

    tmpdir (override)
        Returns a string representation of the first existing directory from the following list:

            $ENV{TMPDIR}
            /tmp
            $ENV{'TMP'}
            $ENV{'TEMP'}
            C:/temp

        If running under taint mode, and if the environment variables are tainted, they are not
        used.

    case_tolerant
        Override Unix. Cygwin case-tolerance depends on managed mount settings and as with MsWin32
        on GetVolumeInformation() $ouFsFlags == FS_CASE_SENSITIVE, indicating the case significance
        when comparing file specifications. Default: 1
