<para><FirstTerm>check_case:level</FirstTerm> - Controls the behaviour of
Cygwin when a user tries to open or create a file using a case different from
the case of the path as asved on the disk.
<literal>level</literal> is one of <literal>relaxed</literal>,
<literal>adjust</literal> and <literal>strict</literal>.</para>

<listitem>
<para><FirstTerm>relaxed</FirstTerm> which is the default behaviour simply
ignores case. That's the default for native Windows applications as well.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para><FirstTerm>adjust</FirstTerm> behaves mostly invisible. The POSIX input
path is internally adjusted in case, so that the resulting DOS path uses the
correct case throughout. You can see the result when changing the directory
using a wrong case and calling <command>/bin/pwd</command> afterwards.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para><FirstTerm>strict</FirstTerm> results in a error message if the case
isn't correct. Trying to open a file <filename>Foo</filename> while a file
<filename>fOo</filename> exists results in a "no such file or directory"
error. Trying to create a file <filename>BAR</filename> while a file
<filename>Bar</filename> exists results in a "Filename exists with different
case" error.</para>

<para><FirstTerm>(no)envcache</FirstTerm> - If set, environment variable
conversions (between Win32 and POSIX) are cached. Note that this is may
cause problems if the mount table changes, as the cache is not invalidated
