I am assuming that English is not your first language.
Cygwin-function doesn't really have a meaning.
Cygwin is a POSIX emulation layer for Windows.

I am inferring from the phrase "Win32's GetCurrentDirectory()"
that you are programming in some compiled language, most likely C or C++.

If the above assumptions are true then you probably need to download 
some development documentation.
You probably want the man page for getcwd().

A good place to start reading would be the cygwin website.  Especially 
parts about problems, asking questions,
the cygwin API, and programming questions.

Good Luck
