Hi,
I could see getsubopt declaration in the unistd.h
but in unix/linux its defined in stdlib.h
i have also noticed that cygwin1.dll does not have that function implemented.
as strings cygwin1.dll as of the 20060105 snapshot debug version did
not give any results for the string getsubopt.
Its well supported in all of the unices, i dont know how we missed on it.
Mwuhahaha.

Vijay: you shouldn't expect something to be in cygwin just because all
the other unix derivatives you've used have it..
Cygwin aims for POSIX compliance, and it's an ongoing project to get there..
These things take time.. I'm sure that this applies:

into a slumber. Wake up! An eye is upon you, staring straight down and
keenly through, seeing all that you are and everything that you will
never be. Yes, an eye is upon you, an eye ready to blink. So face
forward, with arms wide open and mind reeling. Your future has
arrived... Are you ready to go?
