getting the on-disk case for a path

2025年8月07日 17:32:07 -0700

On a case-insensitive but case-preserving filesystem, is there a Cygwin
API to get the on-disk case for a given path? It seems like `realpath`
ought to do it but running
$ touch case-test
$ realpath CASE-TEST
returns CASE-TEST. Regardless, canonicalize_file_name or realpath may not
be what I want because it would dereference symlinks.
Background: I'm trying to debug some test failures in Clang, due to a
warning that's supposed to be issued when you #include "foo.h" but the
file on disk that it opened is "Foo.h".
