| <answer> |
| |
| <para>If you have installed Cygwin, you can find lots of documentation in |
| <literal>/usr/share/doc/</literal>. Some packages have Cygwin specific |
| instructions in a file |
| <literal>/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/<replaceable>package_name</replaceable>.README</literal>. |
| In addition, many packages ship with standard documentation, which you can |
| find in |
| <literal>/usr/share/doc/<replaceable>package_name</replaceable></literal> or |
| by using the <literal>man</literal> or <literal>info</literal> tools. (Hint: |
| use <literal>cygcheck -l <replaceable>package_name</replaceable></literal> to |
| list what man pages the package includes.) Some older packages still keep |
| their documentation in <literal>/usr/doc/</literal> |
| instead of <literal>/usr/share/doc/</literal>. |
| </para> |
| <para>There are links to quite a lot of documentation on the main Cygwin |
| project web page, <ulink url="https://cygwin.com/"/>, including this FAQ. |
| Be sure to at least read any 'Release Notes' or 'Readme' or 'read this' |
| links on the main web page, if there are any. |
| </para> |
| <para>There is a comprehensive Cygwin User's Guide at |
| <ulink url="https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/cygwin-ug-net.html"/> |
| and an API Reference at |
| <ulink url="https://cygwin.com/cygwin-api/cygwin-api.html"/>. |
| </para> |
| <para>You can find documentation for the individual GNU tools at |
| <ulink url="http://www.gnu.org/manual/"/>. |
