We run a couple of automated
scans to help you access a
module's quality. Each module is
given a score based on how well
the author has formatted their
code and documentation and
modules are also checked for
malware using VirusTotal.

Please note, the information below
is for guidance only and neither of
these methods should be considered
an endorsement by Puppet.

Functions

cygwin::windows_path($cygwin_path)

Take a UNIX-style path used in Cygwin and convert it to a Windows path. For example:

  • cygwin::windows_path('/etc/motd') == 'C:\Cygwin64\etc\motd
  • cygwin::windows_path('/cygrive/c/ProgramData') == 'C:\ProgramData

Limitations

For obvious reasons, this module will only work on the Windows operating system.
