has little effect on normal cygwin operations. Sockets are always
in binary mode.
It does affect two things, however. For non-NTFS filesystems, this
option will control the line endings for standard output/input/error
for redirection from the Windows command shell. It will also affect
the default translation mode of a pipe, although most shells set the
pipe to binary by default.
