Subject: Get Cygwin home directory path for current user
To: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"
X-IsSubscribed: yes

According to this:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42841907/

cygpath -w ~

...formerly produced to stdout the home directory path for the current user.

This seems not be the case any more: When I run cygpath -w ~, I get just ~.

Is this by design? If so, what's the way to programmatically determine
the Windows path of ~?

Bill
