You can give a full path starting with /cygdrive/c in place of the C:. Then
replace every \ in a Windows path with a /.  Quote the whole thing if it has
spaces or strange characters in it.

Alternatively you can use the cygpath program to convert a Windows path to
a cygwin one.  For example:

cygpath -ua 'C:\Users\moss'

results in

/cygdrive/c/Users/moss

Note the quoting to avoid the usual interpretation of \ by the cygwin shell.

This can be used in a command, e.g.,: ls $(cygpath -ua 'C:\Users\moss')

man cygpath will tell you all about the program.  HTH -- EM
