Where's the documentation?

If you have installed Cygwin, you can find lots of documentation in `/usr/share/doc/`. Some packages have Cygwin specific instructions in a file `/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/package_name.README`. In addition, many packages ship with standard documentation, which you can find in `/usr/share/doc/package_name` or by using the `man` or `info` tools. (Hint: use `cygcheck -l package_name` to list what man pages the package includes.) Some older packages still keep their documentation in `/usr/doc/` instead of `/usr/share/doc/`.

There are links to quite a lot of documentation on the main Cygwin project web page, , 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.

There is a comprehensive Cygwin User's Guide at and an API Reference at .

You can find documentation for the individual GNU tools at . (You should read GNU manuals from a local mirror, check for a list of them.)
