    In MSYS window. I get the following lines as part of printenv output:

    !::=::\
    !C:=C:\Windows\System32
    

    What do these lines mean or do?

    Thanks,
    Daniel

    Anybody home? :) Trying again, in more long-winded format.

    /home/ehdp$ echo $MSYSTEM
    MSYS
    
    /home/ehdp$ printenv | sort | head
    !::=::\
    !C:=C:\Windows\System32
    _=/usr/bin/printenv
    ALLUSERSPROFILE=C:\ProgramData
    APPDATA=C:\Users\dgoldman\AppData\Roaming
    CommonProgramFiles(x86)=C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files
    COMMONPROGRAMFILES=C:\Program Files\Common Files
    CommonProgramW6432=C:\Program Files\Common Files
    COMPUTERNAME=LEMUR
    COMSPEC=C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe
    

    Can anyone verify the following two lines occur as part of printenv output?

    !::=::\
    !C:=C:\Windows\System32
    

    What do the two lines mean or do? If you know, please post. If nobody knows, I think this should be marked as a bug.

    Thanks,
    Daniel

      Here what I get:

      $ printenv | sort | head
      !::=::\
      _=/usr/bin/printenv
      ALLUSERSPROFILE=C:\ProgramData
      ...
      

      So I too have the first line but the second is missing on my system,
      MSYSTEM is MSYS in my case too. I really don't know what does line
      means.

    Thank you for doing a test. That's interesting the second line does not show up on your system.

    Does anyone else get a different result? Does anyone know what those two lines mean or do?
