No, it's internal to the programme.  We already have the following code,

/**/
mod_export void
cygwin_premain0 (int argc, char **argv, void *myself)
{
    static struct __cygwin_perfile pf[] =
    {
        {"", O_RDONLY | O_TEXT},
        {NULL, 0}
    };
    cygwin_internal (CW_PERFILE, pf);
}

to do something of the kind for some files opened by the shell, but it
apparently doesn't cover everything we might need.  That's all I know on
the subject.
