Use 'gdb' like so 'gdb <executable name>'.  <executable name> must have been
compiled with the '-g' switch.

CTRL-C to stop.  'c' to continue.

None of the is Cygwin specific and is therefore off-topic for this list.  You
should look at the 'gdb' documentation for more info.  You can find this
documentation locally if you installed 'gdb' by doing 'man gdb' or 'info gdb'.
You can find the documentation on the net at the GDB home page:
