Cygwin lacks manual pages for system calls (open, close), etc. These are
present in other operating systems, such as Linux. I propose writing some
manual pages for these system calls similar to those on Linux. The man pages
would also include Cygwin implementation details that might be relevant to a
given function. I'm willing to write these pages if people think this is a
good idea.

Chris
