20 <h2>Rizwan Kassim - Pathabbr 0.3 - Includes support for Cygwin</h2>
21 <div class="intro">
22 rizwank 1.1 Pathabbr doesn't compile on <a href="http://www.cygwin.com">cygwin32</a> due to glibc not being <a href="http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_toc.html#TOC91">completely</a> implemented in cygwin.
23 I've provided 0.3 with a modified Makefile and codebase that implements the missing functions.<br>
24 Pathabbr 0.3 should be functionally equivalent to 0.2.<br>

31 <h3>Description</h3>
32 <p>Pathabbr abbreviates paths to given length using ellipsis.</p>
33
34 <p>Pathabbr is primarily intended for
35 <a href="http://trific.ath.cx//resources/bash/#prompt">shortening bash prompt</a>.
36 It's however quite general and everything, including the string used as
37 ellipsis and the set of rules defining good places to break the path at, can
38 be customized. Thus it can be used to abbreviate other path types than
39 file/directory names.</p>
40
41 <p>Some simple examples:</p>
42 <pre>
43 rizwank 1.1 $ cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/geometry/sgi
44 $ pwd | pathabbr 20
45 /usr/../geometry/sgi
46 $ pwd | pathabbr 30
47 /usr..lib/X11/xkb/geometry/sgi
48 $ pwd | pathabbr -r 0 30
49 /usr/X11R6/lib/../geometry/sgi
50 $ pwd | pathabbr -r 2.0 30
51 ..1R6/lib/X11/xkb/geometry/sgi
52 $ pwd | pathabbr -e ">>>" 30
53 /usr/X11R6>>>/xkb/geometry/sgi
