I don't know if this is a regression, or exposing a bug with cygwin's virtual file handling, but with a recent snapshot: $ file /proc/$$/ppid /proc/164/ppid: empty $ cat /proc/$$/ppid 3904 Hmm - if cat(1) can see contents, why does file(1) treat it as empty? Maybe it's a cygwin bug after all, since the size is being reported as 0: $ ls -l /proc/$$/ppid - -r--r--r-- 1 eblake None 0 Sep 8 06:40 /proc/164/ppid If stat() can't easily determine file sizes in /proc, then it might be better to report those files as a different file type rather than regular files. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
