Description
I used this command in Linux/FreeBSD. I was very surprise that it's available on Cygwin/MSYS2 and it's working very well indeed. I expected it's just a stub and will not do anything useful on Windows. It turned out that I was wrong. I use it as the replacement for the deprecated Dependency Walker and the new bloated Dependencies tool written in .NET.
