FYI:
I'm making my work on this subject available to any one who want to
download my work. At
http://pmcferrin.homedns.org/lman2.cpio.gz
is a copy of the Linux/BSD manual pages of Section 2 of the man
directory. If these man pages symbols are NOT in cygwin1.dll file, the
files has been moved to a .deleted directory.
Please be advised that this TOTALLY UNOFFICIAL. They have NOT been
reviewed for correctness with Cygwin. They are however a valuable
resource. Enjoy. I would advised putting these pages into a local man
directory, separate from system installation. They were downloaded from:
http://www.bigbiz.com/cgi-bin/listman?2
which were <PRE> pre-formatted .html files converted back to man files;
including <B> & <I> processing for dumb rxvt windows.

I noticed that /usr/share/man contains a "man2" sub-directory but it is
empty. Any particular reason? I have Category Cygwin-doc installed for
cygwin 1.7 but I am missing all man pages for Section 2 of the manual.
Section 2 is system calls, which don't exist on Cygwin, because it's a
POSIX implementation on top of Win32 rather than an emulation of a
Unix kernel.
