You are aware that the Cygwin library is GPLed, right?  That means that
if you are developing a commercial application with cygwin you should
contact cygwin-info AT cygnus DOT com unless you are planning on releasing
GPLed applications.

As far as what cygwin returns, since I'm not exactly sure what you're
asking for, you'd probably be best served by inspecting the code and
experimenting with simple test programs.
