UNIXPATH2WIN(1)         System General Commands Manual         UNIXPATH2WIN(1)

NAME
     unixpath2win - convert pathnames from Unix syntax to Windows syntax

SYNOPSIS
     unixpath2win [-ckKmrs] [-f file] path [paths...]

DESCRIPTION
     The unixpath2win utility converts a path in Unix syntax to a path in Win-
     dows syntax. The converted result is written to standard output. The path
     does not need to be an actual existing file or directory.  Paths will be
     resolved for all symbolic links because Windows programs will not under-
     stand symbolic links. However, this default behavior can be overridden
     with the options.

     When paths are provided as multiple arguments then there will be one line
     of output per argument.

     The options are as follows:

     -c      Check that the path or paths to be translated actually exist. If
             a component of path does not exist then it is an error. The
             default is to check as few components as possible to create a
             Windows path.

     -f file
             Accept paths from a file after any paths provided as arguments
             are dealt with.  If the filename is '-' then the stdin will be
             read for paths.

     -k      When a path is provided with a trailing slash the trailing slash
             will be preserved in the output when the final component of path
             is a directory. Otherwise the trailing slash not be printed. The
             default is for a trailing slash not to be printed.

     -K      This is similar to the -k option but the trailing slash is pre-
             served in the output regardless of the type of the final compo-
             nent.

     -m      This indicates that path may contain colons (:) to separate mul-
             tiple paths as might be found in some environment variables such
             as PATH.  The resulting output is a set of semi-colon (;) sepa-
             rated paths.

     -r      When a relative path is provided then print the path name or
             names in context to the relative current directory unixpath2win
             is run. If path can be resolved but it cannot be printed as a
             relative path then it will be output as an absolute path. Other-
             wise it will be an error.  Note that symbolic links can be a
             source of difficulty when trying to have a path be printed rela-
             tively.

     -s      When path contains a symbolic link do not follow the symbolic
             link.

     As a special case the path /dev/null is convert to the Windows equivalent
     of nul.

SAMPLES
     Convert a simple path:
             % unixpath2win /bin
             C:\SUA\bin

     Convert an environment variable with paths:
             % echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
             /usr/lib:/usr/local/lib
             % unixpath2win -m $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
             C:\SUA\usr\lib;C:\SUA\usr\local\lib

DIAGNOSTICS
     The unixpath2win utility shall exit with one of the following values: 0
     when successful and >0 when not successful.

ENVIRONMENT
     No environment variables are used.

NOTES
     For backward compatability with another version of unixpath2win the
     default action is that each path is an isolated path.
