Re: naive question about `prn'


Take a look at the fhandler-tut.txt file in the cygwin source code:

http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/winsup/doc/fhandler-tut.txt?rev=1.2&content-type=text/plain&cvsroot=src

Remember, though, that hardware access devices (like /dev/console.
/dev/fd, etc) are more...interesting...than pseudo, in-memory devices
(like /dev/zero, /dev/mem, /dev/[u]random).  Windows has special hoops
you have to jump through, and those hoops are different for Win9x,
WinMe, WinNT, and Win2K.  And your /dev/prn devices needs to work on all
support flavors of windows.
