effect is to move away from DocBook SGML and DJ Delorie's doctool and toward pure DocBook XSL. (There remains just one use of doctool, and we have plans for replacing it, too.) See ChangeLog for details.

<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="http://cygwin.com/">http://cygwin.com/</ulink>,
|
|
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="http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/cygwin-ug-net.html">http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/cygwin-ug-net.html</ulink>
|

and an API Reference at <ulink
|
|
url="http://cygwin.com/cygwin-api/cygwin-api.html">http://cygwin.com/cygwin-api/cygwin-api.html</ulink>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>You can find documentation for the individual GNU tools at <ulink
|
|
url="http://www.fsf.org/manual/">http://www.fsf.org/manual/</ulink>. (You
|
|
should read GNU manuals from a local mirror, check <ulink
