Let's keep replies on the list, so others who might search the
archives with the same issue may benefit from this thread.

Glad you did your homework first.  Your email hinted that this was
the case but it wasn't entirely clear and I usually find I end up 
regretting it when I make assumptions. ;-)

What you discovered answers your quesiton w.r.t. the Cygwin distribution.
There is no binary getconf that comes with Cygwin.  You either need to 
build it from source (and consider contributing it ;-) ) or scrounge
around on the net looking for someone who has one and has posted it.

Yes, I had already done that before posting !

If you search the packages for getconf, you will see that 
there are references to "getconf" in the sources of bash and sh-utils, 
However, after these are installed using the package manager, getconf is not
present! I am using the latest versions of both and getconf is not to be
found anywhere on the filesystem.

it may well be that getconf is available in source form but as you will see
from my posting, I am looking for a binary version of getconf.

Any help you can give would be appreciated.

regards,
Kieran Dolan

See <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-04/msg00599.html>.  Different 
question, same process to find the answer.

Subject: cygwin getconf implementation

Is there a standard getconf implementation for cygwin ?
I have found references to a "loadable" getconf in release notes for bash
and to builtin versions for ksh93.
However, I cannot find a standalone binary getconf anywhere. Does one exist
& if so in which package?
