Cygwin itself does not have a command, that I know of, to do this.

However, you can use the windows command shell to call its internal
commands. In bash, e.g.

$ /cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/cmd.exe /c dir /a:l /b

shows all the junctions in my windows user home folder when  I am there.

The windows dir command can list links and junctions. The mklink
command documentation at https://ss64.com/nt/mklink.html has more
information than the "mklink/?" help text about links.
