Hi,
Using bash in cygwin, inside any directory in my Windows 2000 machine,
if I type:
ls -l aux
I get:
---------- 0 ???????? ???????? 0 Dec 31 1969 aux
What is that aux file? I learned about that when I tried to create a
file named aux myself and got errors.
It's a reserved file name in Windows. You won't be able to create
a file with that name, although the upcoming Cygwin version 1.5.x
will provide a way to do so in restricted directories.
