You can try "info libc" but in general Cygwin does not have extensive
documentation for its libraries.
The way I like to handle this is to consult the other *nix manpages, as
well as the SUSv3 specification. If you make this a habit you will tend
to write much more portable code, compared to "...but it works in Linux
so I don't see why it won't work with <foo>"
SUSv3:
<http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/mindex.html> or more
specifically:
<http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/xsh_chap02_10.html#tag_02_10>
Linux glibc index:
<http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Library-Summary.html#Library%20Summary>
FreeBSD manpages:

Solaris manpages:
