Is there a cygwin-friendly way of retrieving the volume label for a particular drive (or for all drives) in e.g. a perl or shell script? Short of running Windows' dir.exe on the appropriate drive and parsing the result! Or would I have to use the Windows API? Cheers, Andrew. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
